This page contains all the information you need to successfully complete your audition submission for AUTD Spring 2025 productions of Orlando and Violet.
Auditions must be submitted digitally no later than 5pm CDT on Wednesday, November 20th and callbacks will be held in person on Monday, December 2nd from 6:30-10 pm (for Orlando) and Tuesday, December 3rd from 6:30-10 pm (for Violet). All current BFA Performance and Musical Theatre majors are required to audition for both productions.
Audition Requirements for Orlando: Please submit a 90-second monologue from a contemporary play of your choice. It can be the same one you submit for your Violet audition or a different choice. In addition to the monologue, please perform one of three excerpts from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Memorization is not required but be sure to get your face out of the script and toward the camera as much as possible.
Audition Requirements for Violet: Please submit a 90-second monologue from a contemporary play of your choice. It can be the same one you submit for your Orlando audition or a different choice. We would also like for you to choose a 32-bar cut (two minutes maximum) from a musical in the style of the show. This can include any contemporary musical theatre with a folk/country/gospel flair. Think spirited and earthy, acoustic guitar and fiddle. Possible shows to pull from might be Waitress, 9 to 5, Dogfight, The Color Purple, Bridges of Madison County, Spitfire Grill, Bonnie and Clyde, Big River, and Bright Star.
