Call to Audition: Spring Awakening
Book and Lyrics by Steven Sater. Music by Duncan Sheik.

Based off of Frank Wedekin’s expressionist masterpiece, Spring Awakening depicts adolescent self-discovery in late 19th century Germany.

What to Prepare/More Information:
Alright, were going to switch things up a little bit over here. You need to prepare TWO things for auditions:
1. 16-32 bars of a song, preferably in the style of the show ( NO SONGS FROM SPRING AWAKENING)
2. Prepare ONE verse from ANY SONG as a MONOLOGUE. For example, if I (Farnaz) was auditioning, I would probably present the third verse from Eminem’s Lose Yourself as a monologue. Get CREATIVE, and take this SERIOUSLY. Because we are.
The cast includes 7 male roles and 6 female roles.
Please bring a spring semester schedule, a list of conflicts, and a theatrical resume to your audition. You must be a Rutgers student to audition.
