Auditions

In order to be eligible for casting in a Main or Studio Stage production, you must either be a currently enrolled SMC student (in a class other than the production) or have been a student at the college within the past year.

All roles are open, and the traditional gender breakdown is not necessarily being followed.

                        For all roles:      A 90-second Shakespeare monologue

                        For dancers:      In addition to the monologue, please prepare a 30-second dance piece with CD or without music

                 Some roles may require singing
                        For singers:        Prepare to sing a short song, acapella

                 If you have gymnastic or acrobatic skills, please be prepared to show us what you can do.

Participation in the production requires enrollment in the advanced production class, TA 50 and concurrent enrollment in the make-up workshop class, TA 51. There are fees involved.
