Rehearsal calendar
Audition form
It is very important that you are able to be at as many rehearsals as possible due to
other shows running at the same time.
Although we do have just under 3 months to prepare, there are not a lot of rehearsals,
so it is crucial that you are able to meet the offbook dates and that you come to
rehearsal prepared.
What to prepare for the audition:
Please prepare one of the monologues that is linked. Memorization is not required, but
highly encouraged
Actors will be doing cold reads from the script and randomly paired up depending on
what the directors want to see.
Please be sure to be creative and have lots of fun while you're performing your audition
monologue!(we can tell if you aren’t)
Please pick 1 monologue to prepare
Christopher Robin: Bed is boring. Colds is boring. Colds in summer the day before a
birthday should be made illegal. Outlawed. Banned. The night-light goes out Ho hum.
(He yawns) A hum is a little poem. A pum. No, a pome. I'll see if I can make up a pome,
about me. "Christopher Robin" —now that's a very good start to a pome about me!
"Christopher Robin had wheezles, and sneezles, and they bundled him into his bed.
They gave him what goes for a cold in the nose and some more for a cold in his head.
They wondered if wheezles could turn into measles, if sneezles would turn into mumps.
They examined his chest for a rash, and the rest of his body for swellings and lumps."
Oh, Winnie-the-Pooh, dear bear, if I were only better, we could both be outside playing
in the summer sunshine. I wish, I wish, I wish I were better and outside …
Pooh: Listen to this, everyone! Oh, they've all gone and left me. Oh well, never mind. I'll
recite it anyway. Who found the Tail? "I," said Pooh. "At a quarter to two I found the Tail"
Well, I might as well go home, now. It'll be night soon. Time for a large something. Like
that new box of something with the funny name. What was it? Coddlesome-thing. No,
Cottleston, that's it. Cottleston Pie.The sound of a bird flying off Cottleston, Cottleston,
Cottleston Pie. A bird can fly, but a fly can't bird. No, that sounds wrong Cottleston,
Cottleston, Cottleston Pie. A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. That's a good start. But
what's a good next? That's a real riddle. Let's think. Ask me a riddle and ... and well I'll
reply. Start again… Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie, A fly can't bird, but a bird can
fly. Ask me a riddle and I reply:"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
Piglet: Well, it's stopped at last. Thank goodness. I've never seen so much rain in all my
life. Days and days and days of it. I am now completely surrounded by water, and it's a
little Anxious to be a Very Small Animal Completely Surrounded by Water. The others
could be all right. Christopher Robin and Pooh could escape by climbing trees. Kanga
could escape by jumping. Roo could escape by Kanga. Rabbit could escape by
burrowing up a hill. Owl could escape by flying off and Tigger by bouncing away faster
than water can run. Even Eeyore could escape by Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued.
But I can't climb, can't jump, can't burrow, certainly can't fly or bounce or even make a
loud enough noise. I can't do anything. Except wait until the water goes away.
Kanga: Only in the smallest of quantities after thorough and hygienic preparation. Our
staple diet nowadays is a good mixture of fresh leaves, from the higher in the tree the
better, and of course, I insist that we both take Strengthening Medicine at proper
intervals. Herbal teas I find most refreshing and not over-stimulating, especially
important for the young. During the winter, I prepare root stews. Most nourishing.
Occasionally I grill the roots, but never ever fry them. Far too fattening. Does that
answer your question?
Roo: Did you see me swimming, Mummy? Poo, did you see me swimming. That’s
called swimming, what I was doing. Rabbit, did you see what I was doing? Swimming!
Hallo, piglet! I say, piglet. What do you think I was doing? Swimming! Christopher Robin,
did you see me?
Eeyore: Friends, it is a great pleasure, or perhaps I had better say it has been a
pleasure so far, to see you at my party. What I did was nothing. Any of you, except
Rabbit and Owl, Tigger and Kanga would have done the same. My remarks do not of
course apply to Piglet and Roo because they are too small. Nor do they apply to
Christopher Robin, because he is not here. Any of you would have done the same. But
in this case, it just happened to be me
Rabbit: Well, Owl and I were very worried about these new animals you keep bringing
to the wood. Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and so on. Particularly, about the effect on food,
stores, and so long. But the more I speak with that delightful Mrs. Kanga, the less I find
we have to worry about. By the by, how do you find them all?
Owl: Ah, there you are. Christopher Robin. I have now established conclusively that it is
not possible for me to carry Piglet on my back. I could carry him between my talons, but
I fear that might do him damage. Not that we Owls cannot be careful with our talons. I
seem to remember an aunt of mine once picked up a seagull's egg, took it back to her
nest unnoticing, and quite seriously believed that she had laid the egg herself.
Tigger: hello! Who is it? It’s me! I’m Tigger I’m a very strange animal. Of course
Christopher Robin knows about me. I got here. The usual way. Tiggers like everything! I
found somebody just like me. I thought I was the only one of them just a moment there’s
something climbing on your table RAHH! have I a won?
