Interesting...

Someone named Aaron Bogad (?) who is a director with DeBaun and "saw [me] at the Ragtime auditions" called my voice mail and left a message--he's directing some Shakespeare coming up, including Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew and Julius Caesar, and wants to talk to me about them and I guess to audition.

I would kill--kill--to get to do Juliet. Kate would also be a great role, but I really want to play Juliet.

O, I have bought the mansion of a love,
But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,
Not yet...enjoy'd.

Shakespeare you say? Maybe I'll audition too.

We could work on monologues together. Do you have any good Shakespeare monologues under your belt? I could try to find something for you.

Just the standard Hamlet, the only one I have committed to memory is the advice to the players speech. But thats so overdone and abused I couldn't use it for an audition.

Plus I don't think I could shake the Shatner out of it in time.

Much Ado About Nothing...

ever consider learning Benedick's monologue from "Much Ado About Nothing" (the one that ends "the world must be peopled!")...it's a lot of fun, and not one that's done a lot...

Benedick is a great role, I'll definitely look at that one.

Thanks for the heads up, Clara!!

Aaron was the director of Pippin at DeBaun.

He did a lot of the "theatre games" crap at the beginning of the rehearsal process, which annoyed me greatly. By the end of the rehearsal, though, I felt like he really knew his stuff.

I'd definitely work with him again.
