Auditioning for the One Act Play

The competition one act play this year will be The Spirit of Life. The play is based on interviews of survivors of the Holocaust.

Auditions will be August 14 and 15, with callbacks (if necessary) on the 16. If you would like to audition, you should choose on of the monologues in this doc to memorize (you will need to be logged into your fcboe account in order to access it). The doc includes a link to the full play as well. Auditions are open to all students at McIntosh, but you must be academically eligible. The regional competition is a GHSA event, so the rules for being on a sports team apply to us as well.

For auditions, you will choose a one-hour time slot to attend: 4-5 or 5-6 on either the 14th or 15th. During that hour, you will perform your memorized monologue in front of me, some of the tech crew, and the other students auditioning at the time. I may ask students to perform short scenes from the play (you will have a script for this) and there will be some movement exercises we will do together. There is a sign up sheet on the door to the drama room to reserve your audition time. By Monday. August 7th, there will be two google forms posted that will need to be filled out – one for students and one for their parents. Among other things, these forms will include the rehearsal expectations and schedule.

Parents: please fill out this form before your child auditions.

The performances will be October 12 &14 at McIntosh. Our first competition is October 21, and the Regional one act competition is October 28. If we are lucky enough to move on to State, that will be November 11.

Auditions! November 14, 15 and 16

There is a sign up sheet on the drama room door. You will choose an hour-long slot. For the audition, you will sing a section from one of the songs below, and you may be asked to read a short scene from the show.

The winner takes it all
I have a dream
Thank you for the music

These are the accompaniment tracks we’ll use – listed below. Students should make sure they know what time mark they’d like to start. They should pick 1-2 minutes of the song they’d like to sing.

Refuse to Lose: Loser’s Edition!

The McIntosh Drama program proudly presents Refuse to Lose: Loser’s Edition, our competition one act play. Performances will be October 13 and 18 at 7pm in the McIntosh auditorium. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door.

Refuse to Lose: Loser’s Edition: After a disastrous performance of Hamlet at the one act competition, the cast and crew realize the only way they can win is by sabotaging the other shows. Stealing, kidnapping and all sorts of bad behavior occur in this hilarious backstage comedy. Watch out, Little Orphan Annie – these students are desperate and will do anything to win!
