<p>Another tip: My D didn’t have a super long list of monologues, but even with only 6 auditions she did arrive at one school to find they were opening a play the following weekend that she had a monologue from. It is considered a BIG mistake to do a monologue from a play that the dept is doing, or has very recently done. They’re only human, and it’s hard for them to take you at face value. It also shows whether or not you’ve done your homework on them. They liked it that she knew a lot about the play - but they would not have liked hearing a piece from it.</p>
<p>This monologue fortunately was her back-up, not her standard, but if the situation had been reversed, she would have had to have her back-up ready. She was glad she had more than the bare bones in her repertoire.</p>
