Call-Back Auditions for this Summer’s Play ‘Comedy of Errors’
Jitters and nerves were flowing back-stage as the actors and actresses waiting to take their turn to show they have what it takes this summer.
One confident actress, Hannah Jane McMurray, stated, “I auditioned the first time hoping for a call-back, not for the role.” She took a unique approach, taking it one step at a time. It made her less nervous this time around, rather than pacing every few minutes, as others were doing.
While others who were more nervous, were so because the call-backs entailed a piece from Henry IV Act 5, Scene 2, which was chosen for them. As Jeremy Browne stated, “it was like a curveball being thrown for the scene and song selection.” A curveball or not - these actors and actresses were very talented, even if they were beginners such as Ashley Gramdini who is still a Junior at Wellesley College.
My favorite part of the auditions was the female song selection, which entailed the females ranting and raving of how and why they “hate men.” The best was when a gentleman also had to sing that for his song selection. Lets just say, the individuals critiquing their performances were having a hard time not laughing throughout the song, especially during the lyric, “He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie.”
Ladies n’ Gentlemen - no matter who is chosen for the upcoming play - it shall be a performance not to be missed, as seen just from these auditions.
