4 AUDITION MONOLOGUES For Men or Ladies: STORYTELLERS: Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree.it was a pretty nasty place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty. On his birthday, the little ogre s parents sat him down to talk, just as all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before. PINOCCHIO: Dumped in a swamp! Man, I tell ya, sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap! Life is disappointing! Woe is what I know. Outed by my nose, that s how it goes for poor, poor Pinocchio! For Men: DONKEY: Nobody s fine on their own! Not when you look like we do! Hey! Didn t you hear what they said? Man, we gotta join forces. Otherwise they re gonna lock me up! And I can NOT go back in a cage! Woo-Hoo, Alright! Now THAT S what I m talkin about Shrek and Donkey, two stalwart friends, of on a whirlwind big city adventure! FARQUAAD: And now, good people of Duloc, the moment you ve all been waiting for! The raffle drawing to determine who will have the honor of setting forth to rescue the lovely Princess Fiona from the fiery keep of the dragon. I shall make Fiona my Queen and Duloc will finally have the perfect king! SHREK: For your information there s a lot more to ogres than most people think. Ogres.are like onions. Onions have layers, Ogres have layers, you get it?! We both have layers! Ogres are NOT like parfaits. You know? This may turnout to be the longest day of my entire life! For Ladies: FIONA: I can t think about Shrek. Not now. I m a princess after all, and look at me! I mean really, who could ever love a beast so hideous and ugly? Princess and ugly don t go together.

6 Student Conflict Calendar Print student name: Please read and sign below.. On the following pages you will find a basic for the months we will be rehearsing SHREK. As with any activity, it is important to know any conflicts that students may have with rehearsals and performances. Please put an X on the days that you have conflicts with this schedule at this time. We realize that this is life and changes will occur, but we need to get a grasp of cast availability. Understand that we are committed to having the highest level of performance that we can give. To do this, we need every actor and actress committed to being at rehearsals and performances and doing their very best. If we feel that a student cannot give the commitment that is needed, we may cast them in a smaller part, or choose not to cast them at all. We certainly want the best for everyone involved and will take that into consideration when deciding our cast. This form MUST be handed in at the time of your audition. Failure to do so may prevent you from getting a part in this year s musical. Please be sure to look the form over carefully and sign as indicated. Remember that this is a basic schedule. Specific scenes will be indicated in our final Calendar. We will sometimes work in small groups or with specific scenes so it is a given that you will not be needed for ALL of these dates. Any changes in the schedule will be announced to the cast as expediently as possible. Cast members will receive a more comprehensive rehearsal schedule at the first full cast meeting. I have reviewed the Conflict Schedule, and indicated the conflicts I have at this time. I understand that if I have too many conflicts, it will affect how or if I am cast in the show.
