Intern Exit Interviews

Thank you for a wonderful party tonight! Merry Christmas to all the Secret Santas. Will and Siara still have gifts to pick up, so I hope to see you at the Opening Reception of Love Letters on Wednesday so we can continue the gift giving there.

Exit Interviews/Auditions

To end the summer and show off what you've learned, you will prepare a song and monologue as an audition package. Today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday, the last two days of July) you will choose your song and monologue. Over the next few days, you'll use all you've learned to work on them on your own. Then, next week, you will meet with me to perform them as an audition. The audition time slots are posted on the blog. Please let me know by Thursday if those times do not work for you.

The song should be 16 bars of you singing. The monologue should be 30 seconds long, from a play, and suitable to your age and gender. Preferably, the song and monologue will be contrasting (one is comedic, one is dramatic), but as long as they are not the same character type, you'll be fine.

The audition will consist of you and I on stage at the boat. It will be forty minutes and will include:

1. Your Slate (Say Your name and your audition pieces)
2. Your Audition Pieces
3. Time to work on certain aspects of the audition to bring it to the next level
4. Discussion of goals for the future
5. Suggestions for next year's internship program

Keep checking the schedule on the blog for ways to help out at the boat :) Keep in contact with me about your conflicts until August 12! I can't believe it's almost over :(

Intern Meeting Information

Weekly Intern Notes - July 21

Thank you for all your work this past week. I know it's been a little crazy juggling tech hours, HONK, and Spelling Bee help. You've stayed focused and determined. Now let's go into our last week of HONK with energy and enthusiasm! Invite all your friends!

• Follies: WARTS AND ALL is the first song of Follies! Yay! Please see Nicki or Tommy for all your questions about Follies tech. Please plan to wear "your Sunday best" for the performance. Make sure you are comfortable in the clothes you choose so that the choreography does not have to change. No flip flops. Also, if you have some extra glasses or glasses frames to share, I'd LOVE to have everyone in glasses :) The nerdier, the better.
• HONK, Jr. Tech: Please check the blog schedule every day this week to make sure you know of any changes. It will be a busy week, but we can handle it! Changes to the schedule will most likely take place at the end of the day around 10:30pm. If you're unable to check the blog, contact another intern who can! Yay for working together!
• Publicity: Theatre does not exist without an audience. Soooo... please use Facebook, email, Twitter, and texting every day this week to invite your friends to HONK, Jr. Here's some info to pick and choose from depending on who you're talking to: HONK! Jr. The story of the ugly duckling. A 70-minute musical comedy. Friday, July 27 @ 7:30 and Sunday, July 29 @ noon. Tickets are $15.
• Change Overs: Because we're performing Honk on the Spelling Bee set, transforming the stage will take lots of help from you. Please plan to be on hand after each rehearsal this week to help with the following (this is just a basic list so you have an idea of the kinds of things we'll be doing):
• Organize/Maintaining props to keep them from mixing with Spelling Bee
• Helping Kyle with changing gels in the lighting instruments
• Helping Steven and Joe with the fabric that will cover the SB set, attaching/removing the side walls of the SB gym set, moving the boxes away from the stage
• Hanging/removing the posters hanging in the house
• Secret Santa: We get to have fun with Christmas in July! Yay! Give your secret santa person a $1 gift on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday next week. Be sure it's wrapped and has a name on it. Keep it secret! Then on Monday we'll give the last gift ($15 maximum) at our party in the lobby at 5.
• Opening Night Reception: We will have an opening night reception on Friday after the show, so please bring some of your fancy "I'm a hot shot actor" clothes to change into after the show.
• Costume Fitting Schedule for SUNDAY, JULY 22 in the GREEN ROOM
