Comedy/Farce:
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society,
flushed with the success of its previous production, are ready to mount their next
production which sets sail on the luxury ocean liner SS Farndale Avenue into
musical-comedy of the thirties. The women poised to show that the age of
elegance, glamour and enchantment are still alive. Well, is it really? The Ladies
and Gordon rise above chaos with catchy numbers and a surprising underwater
sequence.
All those who wish to audition should prepare a one-minute monologue; sides read
from comparable genre; choreography and improvisation.
Quick Monologue Tips:
+Find a monologue that fits you and your experiences. Find a character or situation
that you can relate to too.
+Pick a monologue that is age appropriate. If you’re in your 40’s, don’t choose a
monologue for a young ingenue.
+Look at other plays written by David McGillivray and Walter Zerlin Jr or of
similar structure for monologue. Do not use any from this play.
