Auditions

Auditions for the OU School of Drama seasons are generally held during the first week of classes for the fall semester’s productions, and in late November /early December for the spring semester’s shows. All shows are usually cast at the same time, including Mainstage and studio productions. There are unusual situations in which independent auditions may be conducted. Students are asked to prepare two contrasting monologues, and the entire audition is to be two minutes or under in length. Students auditioning should sign up for a time slot on sheets which will be posted on the FAC callboard prior to auditions. Students who are auditioning should familiarize themselves with the plays for which they are auditioning, select appropriate monologues, dress appropriately and prepare thoroughly. (The scripts of the season’s plays are available in the main office, OSH 121, prior to auditions.) It is advisable to arrive ten to fifteen minutes early to give yourself time to warm up and focus, as well as to fill out the audition form. All time conflicts are to be noted on the form.
