I cannot remember the thread where this was discussed but I thought I would throw in this information for those who are auditioning…

My son has friends who have actually gotten callbacks this year as well as were accepted last year, all as seniors in HS. Each of these kids did a Shakespeare monologue for their initial audition. They are incredibly talented and it was the talent that got them in, not that they did or did not do a Shakespeare piece. So please, if your child/you are comfortable doing Shakespeare, then do it, Julliard’s numbers are so hard to overcome, you will not jeopardize your chances because of this issue. They are incredibly hard to get a callback from, no matter which monologues you choose.

Break legs to all and dress warmly!!!
