2022 Winter Creating a Role Audition Form

Creating a Role Audition Form

Winter 2022
Perform in one of the world's greatest plays, no matter your level of experience, in an innovative production with special elements designed to celebrate The Theatre Lab's 30th anniversary. The cast will feature a faculty member and Honors conservatory alums alongside current students, making it a Theatre Lab-wide endeavor. The play will be performed outside (so no masks required in performance), rain or shine, and the actors themselves will provide atmospheric lighting - with flashlights.

As always, this double-session course will give students the experience of preparing a complex role from the beginning of a rehearsal process through the moment of performance. Working with both a professional director (Theatre Lab favorite Michael Russotto) and a professional actor (a member of the Theatre Lab faculty soon to be announced), students explore all the elements of acting in a full production, including text analysis, dramaturgy, character development, blocking, giving focus, taking direction, connecting to other actors, and dealing with the audience. This offering of the course culminates in four public performances of King Lear, a play with even more wonderful roles - for students at all experience levels - than Shakespeare's other masterpieces. No Shakespeare experience is required. Most classes and rehearsals will be at The Theatre Lab; late rehearsals and all performances will be at the Field School, 2301 Foxhall Road NW, Washington. Auditions are low-key – no monologue required. Stay tuned for audition dates. At over 70 hours of training, with structured rehearsals and live performance, this is one of our most cost-effective courses.
