Auditions for 365 Plays 365 Days

Today I auditioned for a project here at the U of O called "365 plays, 365 days". It is all based around this woman who decided to write one play a day for a whole year. The audition was very fun and featured a lot of improv. We started out however by singing. We went around the circle and everyone auditioning sang songs ranging from the "Reading Rainbow" theme song to "Fever" a jazz standard. I chose to sing one of my favorites, "Oh Valencia" by the Decemberists. When I started singing, one of the directors casting us lit up and put a hand on his heart so that made me pretty happy. After the singing we moved into some group improv activities including one where we all became monsters and he gave us adjectives to work with. I personally had to be a slutty, judicious and cozy monster. It was quite fun. We also did an exercise where we had to create a pantomimed boat. I was a wave. Overall I felt pretty good about the audition. The cast list will be posted tomorrow.
