Signature Teen Ensemble Auditions

Description

This audition-only learning group will gather QCT’s most dedicated and serious young performers for a year-round exploration of advanced acting techniques, devised theatre methods, and ensemble exercises. Material may include challenging contemporary plays, classics of the Western canon, world theatre, and original work (to be created by the ensemble). Signature Teens will periodically showcase work-in-progress of their choosing throughout the year in QCT’s Lab Theatre. NOTE: Auditions for new Signature Teen members will be held quarterly.

AUDITIONS:

Choose ONE, 45 minute slot on Saturday, November 1.  Anyone aged 14-18 is welcome to audition but it is recommended that you have performed in at least one QCT student theatre production or two Triple Threat Boot Camps.

  • Please choose a monologue from the links below to memorize and perform at your audition. Be sure to research the play to understand the character’s given circumstances and the monologue’s context.
  • Please note: if you wish, you may prepare a monologue from another published play. Please avoid monologues from film, song lyrics or self-written works. 
  • Monologue work will be followed by a group ensemble exercise.
  • Please dress to move and bring a water bottle.
  • Please note: This audition process will be non-traditional, highly collaborative and deeply self-reflective. The purpose of this class is to create a safe yet challenging space where actors can jump into characters and material that push their capabilities to new heights. We are looking for ensemble members who are just as willing and excited to grow their own acting skills while supporting their peer's growth as well.
