The form was a little intimidating, but Lirssa saw that they actors were paid and that made it very appealing: not having to find her own shows or try to set up impromptu performances in the Marketplace. The worst that could happen is she wouldn't be picked. So, she fills the form out the best she can.

The structure of the Theater Company auditions will be as follows - group warm ups, followed by individual dance, singing, and acting interviews. They will be asked to learn and repeat one dance routine, perform one pre-prepared song, and one pre-prepared scene.

Applicants for the positions in the Repertory Company will be interviewed individually. They will be asked to perform a prepared audition piece of their own choosing, and sight-read and perform a monologue chosen by the in-house director.

Applicants for positions in the Ballet Troupe will be invited back to audition with Anthony and Anastasia De Luca. There will be set pieces, as well as a solo and group audition.

((OOC Note - The Shanachie Theater Companies and House Band are intended to be a platform for players to expand their horizons among the community. Applications can be considered to be successful if made. Regular play, in forums and/or live, would be very much appreciated where time permits. Player's names will be attached to the pertinent productions in varying roles, unless they specifically state otherwise. Please note, if you are currently on the Roll Call of the Shanachie's Companies, you will need to add your details to this thread, or contact me or Tony De Luca directly, to keep that place in the Shanachie line up. In light of the last couple of years experience at this, I am also adding that should your character join the Shanachie and then do absolutely nothing - play in the rooms, post on the boards, etc - for an extended period of time, I will remove your character from the roll call.))

Kruger came dressed for the role he'd chosen to use as his audition piece. There were advantages to being a maker of weapons and armor when it came to military roles. He handed off a page to one of the other applicants who would read their lines off stage before taking center stage himself.

Messenger: Choose your next words carefully, Leonidas. They may be your last as king. King Leonidas: ] "Earth and water?" Messenger: Madman! You're a madman! King Leonidas: Earth and water" You'll find plenty of both down there. Messenger: No man, Persian or Greek, no man threatens a messenger! King Leonidas: You bring the crowns and heads of conquered kings to my city steps. You insult my queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death! Oh, I've chosen my words carefully, Persian. Perhaps you should have done the same! Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness! King Leonidas: Madness...? King Leonidas: This is Sparta!

Once he'd finished his scene, Kruger looked out at the seats in the auditorium found a silhouette that he thought he recognized. An epic grin flashed across his face if only for a moment while he waited for the sight reading piece to be provided to him. Slowly he unfastened the armor and set aside shield and sword, not wanting his current costume to have an influence on the new piece.

Josette felt terrible about keeping such a huge secret from Isaac. The audition form was tucked away and kept hidden until her brother was safely on stage at the carnival. She was determined to pursue her passion despite his perception of her physical limitations. Her wish was still out there in the cosmos after all, and Josette was eternally hopeful.

Her hand started to tremble slightly when she came to the medical history question. Visions of dashed dreams of becoming an "toile flashed before her. Josette lingered over this question for a long time and she debated what to write. She did not wish to lie, yet she was no longer willing to let herself be defined by a diagnosis on paper. She knew if she continued to live that way, without at least trying to return to her passion, she'd always regret it. With a deep breath, she began to fill out the form.

After the form was filled out, Josette exhaled and knew the hard part was yet to come. She began training daily for hours at a time in secret.

She worked on her Second Shade variation from La Bayad're. Determined to nail the opening cabriole-chass" sequence, it surprised her how it all came flooding back to her as her muscles remembered and guided her through the steps.

When the time for her audition came, Josette smiled, poised to give herself over to the music and the moment. Whatever happened, she'd know she'd given her all. She suddenly realized how fitting it was that the variation she chose blurred the line between reality and a dream.

Annabeth filed her way into the auditorium prepared for a long day of auditioning. She was ready to sing, dance, and perform. She had her chosen scene memorized, and was running over it in her head to calm down the butterflies camped in her stomach. She was as ready as she would ever be.

Glancing down at the application in her hand she looked over it carefully to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

Just as with last year, Dru's audition carried with it a post-script with a list of dates during which she would not be available to perform - a longer list than last year, but then, last year, she hadn't been married and of age in her home country of Tirisano. Responsibilities beckoned.

She had definitely improved in the last couple of years, daring her own voice to sing Home, from Beauty and the Beast, as her audition song. Her audition monologue, however, caused her a few restless nights - she eventually ended up attempting comedy as Mabel Chiltern from An Ideal Husband.

"Well, Tommy has proposed to me again. Tommy really does nothing but propose to me. He proposed to me last night in the Music-room, when I was quite unprotected, as there was an elaborate trio going on. I didn't dare to make the smallest repartee, I need hardly tell you. If I had, it would have stopped the music at once. Musical people are so absurdly unreasonable. They always want one to be perfectly dumb at the very moment when one is longing to be absolutely deaf. Then he proposed to me in broad daylight this morning, in front of that dreadful statue of Achilles. Really, the things that go on in front of that work of art are quite appalling. The police should interfere.

"At luncheon I saw by the glare in his eyes that he was going to propose again, and I just managed to check him in time by assuring him that I was a bimetallist. Fortunately I don't know what bimetallism means. And I don't believe anybody else does either. But the observation crushed Tommy for ten minutes. He looked quite shocked. And then Tommy is so annoying in the way he proposes. If he proposed at the top of his voice, I should not mind so much. That might produce some effect on the public. But he does it in a horrid confidential way. When Tommy wants to be romantic he talks to one just like a doctor. I am very fond of Tommy, but his methods of proposing are quite out of date.

"I wish, Gertrude, you would speak to him, and tell him that once a week is quite often enough to propose to any one, and that it should always be done in a matter that attracts some attention."
