Audition For Every Brilliant Thing

In this audition process we are looking to build a creative company that consists of one narrator and several creative ensemble members to aid the rehearsal process.

If you would like to audition for the narrator, please sign up for a 10-15 minute audition slot. In the audition, you will meet and get to know some of the kind-hearted members of the production team. We ask that you come prepared to tell a story that is 5-7 minutes long (time flexible). This story could be a true story from your life. It could be a story from someone’s life. We ask that you incorporate some sort of audience participation in the telling of this story. Think about how you can include the audience into your story so that you can’t tell the story without them. The audience participation could be a million different things and there is no right or wrong way to do it. It could look like:

• Asking the audience for a suggestion on how to deliver the story (like an old person, on a rollercoaster, while tying your shoe…)

• Having an audience member read or tell part of the story as a character in the story

• Asking the audience to dance or sing to a simple song

• Arranging the audience in a particular way to enhance the experience of telling the story

• The possibilities are endless! We just want to see that you are thinking about how to bring your audience into the storytelling experience

If you would like to audition to be a part of the creative ensemble, congratulations you got the part! Just email the director, Samantha White at samantha.white@yale.edu.
