Thank you for your interest in Glyn Maxwell’s Best Man Speech! First-round auditions will be the 6th and 7th of November. If you are thinking of auditioning, please fill out this form so that I can get to know you a bit better beforehand!
For the audition I’ll ask you to bring in the monologue included at the end of this packet, the opening excerpt of the play. This does not need to be memorised. You’ll have time to ask any questions you have/get to know me and my style of working a little. You’ll perform the excerpt, I’ll give some notes and ask you to read it, or part of it, again and we’ll continue in this sort of mode until the end of your slot. The main thing I am looking for in these auditions is how you respond to the sort of feedback I give and my style of working!
If you cannot make any of the current slots, email me (carson.white@yale.edu) and we’ll find a different time! And if there’s anything that we can do to make auditioning easier/possible for you please reach out!
You can sign up for an individual audition at any of the times listed below (you have to be signed in/create an account on YCA to see the slots). Sunday’s will happen in Phelps Hall 207 (9:30-11:30pm) and Monday’s in Bass L73 (6-9pm)!
If you have any questions about the audition process or the production, please reach out to Carson (carson.white@yale.edu).

Note: Best Man Speech includes moments of anti-Asian racism, sexism, body and slut shaming, sexual language/description, threats of violence to the audience and the characters described, a bomb threat, and discussions of death, addiction, prostitution, an abusive relationship and attempted murder.
