Fall play auditions are held twice- once for 6th graders, and once for 7th/8th graders.
6th grade auditions are always held early in the fall, like the 2nd or 3rd week of school, and require NO PREPARATION- just show up! Only a few 6th graders get into the fall play, but we make sure that everyone has fun at the auditions! If you don't get in, don't worry- everyone gets into the next show, our winter musical! But come audition for the fall play- you'll have fun, and it's good practice in making auditioning less scary!
The 7th/8th grade auditions are sometimes held the previous spring, and sometimes held early in the fall. 7th/8th graders almost always are asked to prepare a monologue. See the monologue page for more information on choosing and preparing a monologue.
In general, 6th graders are typically cast in ensemble roles where they can learn about being in a production; 7th graders are typically cast in supporting or ensemble roles to continue building performance skills; the main roles are typically reserved for 8th graders who have a history of commitment to drama (including auditioning for plays at Bigelow, attending drama events and conducting themselves in a respectful and responsible manner in all drama productions). THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE FOR ANY 8TH GRADER.
