^^Connections, my son actually didn’t have a monologue from the show he was asked about–he played Bobby, three years ago, in “American Buffalo,” not a part with much monologue-appropriate material–but he told the auditor that he remembered “being smacked around a lot,” and that seemed to be a good response! He then did a Shakespeare monologue he’d been working on instead, which was fine. Because we’d heard to be prepared to do something from your resume in case you’re asked, he does have another “old” monologue ready, though. He’s halfway through the audition cycle now, so I’ll be interested to see if this comes up again! By the way, have you guys seen the posts about being asked to do something from a show you’re currently rehearsing? My s has a show coming up in February and would definitely not be ready to whip out a monologue or song from that. At least he can plan ahead and have a response ready if asked!
