General Audition Rules
Found these today cleaning, which I put together a few years back while in the Bay Area....
General Audition Rules. Or Rules for a General Audition:
1) always take off your shoes and ask permission when doing so.
2) Do a piece dealing with suicide, being sure to mention the word
"cock."
3) Stare down the auditors and move right in front of their faces.
4) Take prolonged pauses.
5) If the auditor asks for a second contrasting monologue, it is best to be unprepared.
6) Drop a name or two.
7)Always prepare: before, during and after your audition.
8) Wear only as much jewelry as will make distracting noises.
9) The only thing better than a German accent Is a Southern one.
10) Consider miming.

Working on lauren yee's play at playpenn this summer. I'm in beautiful Philly for auditions. Going from 930-6.
Looking forward to meeting lauren and sitting in a room with paul. He's one of my faves - and a huge phillies fan.
Glad to be back for year three at playpenn. I've thoroughly enjoyed working in the city where I was born. I'd love to make it more of a habit.

A year and a half?
My my my. It's been a year and a half since I posted. Time to resuscitate this? Why not.
Let's begin: URGE FOR GOING ended a week ago. I feel an enormous sense of pride in the work. Working with Mona Mansour on it was an amazing experience. From Ojai, to Beirut, to Tyre, to the Public - some amazing work went into this.
I will post pictures at some point (promises, promises).
But now - in truth - the next big project is baby brooks, due in a month. There's much to be done in the interim, workwise (design meetings, auditions, etc) - and there will likely be some imminent announcements of some exciting projects soon.
As for this second, today is a day to keep reading plays for Ojai as we have got to get down to our final six plays.
Welcome back.
