Overview

Benedict

In a culture absorbed in decadence after the fall of the Roman Empire, Benedict leaves his school filled with immorality and debauchery against the wishes of his own father and his own desire to remain close to a woman he admires. His twin sister, Scholastica, empathizes and encourages him. Shortly after, Benedict meets a monk who changes the course of his life.

Benedict enters a monastery, where he is ridiculed and his life is threatened. Eventually, he leaves and founds his own order along with twelve monasteries throughout Italy.

Instructions

Benedict

Decide! Determine which show you will be auditioning for by choosing from the list on our audition page. Then, peruse through the character breakdowns and choose which character you would like to audition for. You can pick more than one character!

Sides! Within the dropdown for each character description, you will find downloadable PDFs of the audition sides for that character. Download the sides. Review the sides until you are familiar with them and comfortable performing them.

Hide! Next, set up your space. Find a quiet space with little disturbance and prepare to record your audition using whatever recording software is available to you. This can be done on your phone if access to a studio or home-recording equipment is limited. Then, find a person to read the part across from you. This person does not have to be an actor. If no one is available, perform the side yourself, skipping the lines of the other part.

If recording your audition as a video, ensure you are in a quiet environment with a neutral background. There should be no distractions. If recording your audition as audio, you will not be judged by the quality of your audio, as we will record everything in studio. Ensure that there are no distractions or background noises. Actors can NOT edit their audition tapes or add special effects, music, or other audio.

Please slate prior to each side. Each audition side should be recorded separately and uploaded as its own file. You do not need a reader to read the role(s) across from you, though it is preferable.

Audio recordings preferred, video audition allowed if necessary.
