DRAMA AUDITIONS: A Midsummer Night's Dream

[goosemods]

DRAMA AUDITIONS

Every year at Gooseberry, a performance is held right before winter break. This year, the Drama Club will be putting on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Inspired by the Halloween Dance, Mrs. Acuña and Ms. Thrussell explain that their plan is to use a Victorian costuming and setting theme, which they hope to be quite ambitious.

• Students may try out and potentially be cast as any role, regardless of gender.
• Shenanigans may cost you a part!
• Drama students get preference for roles, but anyone may try out.
• If you have multiple characters trying out for roles: We're going to try to spread out the roles to as many players as possible, so you may only see one of your characters getting a spot.
• Not everyone will get a role.
• Students may also apply to work backstage in the technical crew.

Character: Susana. Velasquez
Are they in Drama Club?: Yes
Preferred Roles: Hermia, Titania (though she sincerely doubts this is viable, a girl can dream!) any fairy. Though really she'll play anything.
Their Audition: Susana delivers her performance with an ease that speaks of natural talent, though she is young and definitely still learning. She's not a shy girl by any means, and has no problems conveying emotion in a setting she seems "safe". Given how intense and passionate she is in life, portraying a woman desperately in love is not so hard, and she completely immerses herself in the idea of wanting someone so bad it consumes her (overdramaic teenager much?!)
Rating: i hate this! Lol About a 7.5? Maybe?!
