Hello all,
While I'm not applying to be a musical theatre major, I am applying to be a directing major, and apparently some schools (namely, NYU) still require you to audition with a monologue in addition to your portfolio review.
Now, I'm kind of at a loss. I know many, many shows, but for the life of me I cannot think of a single contemporary play with a solid monologue for a teenage girl. The closest I could think of is one of Molly's monologues from Peter and the Starcatcher, but I'm hesitant to use it for a number of reasons (one, it's a modern, popular play, two, she's technically thirteen, not seventeen, and three, she's British).
If more information about me would help: Physically, the most important things I could think of are that I'm white (as a ghost, really) and noticeably short (~5ft). Obviously, acting isn't my strong suit. While I am arguably one of the better performers in my school, that really doesn't say much on this scale. On that vein, I don't think anything extremely dramatic or extremely comedic would be preferable, because I don't have the proper training/practice for it. I'm also definitely not a ingenue type (in every other thread I've stalked that question has come up, so I figured I'd get it out of the way).
If anyone could help me out, that would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance!
