AUDITION MONOLOGUES AND TIPS
* - indicates a reccomended pause.
Both monologues are from Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire.
For Women: I...I...I took the blows on my face and my body! All those deaths!
* You came just in time for funerals Stella. And now you sit there telling me with your eyes that I let the place go. How in hell do you think all that sickness and dying was paid for? Death is expensive, Miss Stella!
--------------
For Men: Don’t you ever talk that way to me. Pig...disgusting...greasy. Those kind of words have been on your tongue and your sister’s tongue just too much around here. What do you think you are?
* A pair of queens?
* I’m the King around here, and don’t you forget it.

1. Please don't copy and paste the monologues in your audition. I'd like to see how you handle the material, and how you interpret it. Not how I typed it up.
2. On the same note, the pauses are recommended, but interpret the material how you will.
3. Feel free to throw in an emoticon if you want. It's what the little box of emoticons is there for in Towns, anyway. Also, put emphasis on important words or phrases by putting them in CAPS.
4. Don't walk around too much, but you may move slightly during your audition, or sit, but make sure it's a good choice for the monologue and the character.
5. ENJOY YOURSELF, and don't apologize if you feel you messed up.
