We are running our practices a little differently this year to accomodate your and your child's busy schedule. We have divide the cast into two groups, A and B. Group A will practice on Tuesdays and Group B on Wednesdays. The cast will practice together on Mondays and Thursdays.

General Audition Packet

The Second Annual Lineville Play!!

Hello, students and parents! Due to the overwhelming experience and product of last year’s play at Lineville, we have decided to continue the opportunity for another year. Hannah Kitslaar, Courtney Guc, and Freddy Quiram are now seniors, still enrolled in the full International Baccalaureate program at Bay Port. For those of you unfamiliar with the process, obtainment of the diploma requires a community service aspect. This is Bay Port’s second year with the International Baccalaureate, and thus has brought a new batch of juniors. We have brought on four new directors from the Class of 2014: Nate Huempfner, Chris Gronski, Ashleigh Buergi, and Bri Beauchamp. We are extremely excited to have these new directors with us and look forward to what new ideas everyone has to bring to the play.

This year we decided to take on the feat of writing our own play. The play is entitled Fingerprints and the plot revolves around multiple stories belonging to kids in the Middle School/High School age range. There are themes of growing up, learning difficult lessons, and realizing things about one’s self that may not be easy to accept. The play has many speaking and non-speaking roles so that we can ensure a large amount of involvement. Last year our final cast number was 31, but this year, due to the increased amount of directors, we hope to invite about 40-45 cast members to be a part of the production.

We will need a large time commitment from the aspiring actors and actresses. Practices will be split into Group A and Group B practices according to roles announced upon casting. Everyone will practice on Mondays and Thursdays, with Group A practicing on Tuesdays and Group B practicing on Wednesdays. All practices will be held from after school until 5:00 pm. We will have two Saturday practices: December 8th (Lineville commons) and January 5th (Bay Port PAC), both from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm. We need people who will be able to make the practices and have rides arranged so please carefully look at your calendars. Due to the limited practice times we can only cast students who can make almost every practice, but we understand and will accommodate minimal conflicts.

AUDITIONS will be held Thursday, November 15. The first time slot begins at 3:20 and auditions will last until everyone who desires to try out has done so. Students should sign up for a 5-minute time slot on the schedule in Lineville’s main office no later than Wednesday, November 14. All students auditioning will be asked to read both the female and male lines provided in this packet due to the diversity and adaptability required in theatre. Lines should be practiced in character, but do not have to be memorized, as scripts are allowed to be used during the audition. The directors will choose actors based on enthusiasm, adherence to lines, and preparedness. Please make sure your son or daughter is on time. As mentioned before, we do hope to increase our numbers due to the new directors. However, because of the number of auditions we expect, we may have to cut people from the play. We know this seems harsh for Intermediate school, but we may not have enough parts to give to everyone.

Finally, in order to make this all happen we are receiving help from the administration and drama coordinators at multiple schools; we need your help too! If you can help supervise practices and be there to help with the cast please check the box below. If your child makes the cast we will contact you asking what times work. Thank you in advance!

Again, we are looking forward to this year and are so excited to see the talent at Lineville! If you have any questions feel free to contact us at:

linevilleplay@gmail.com



USE THE PARTS OF THE SCRIPT ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES TO PRACTICE.

AUDITION TIPS:

1. PRACTICE!!! PRACTICE!!! PRACTICE!!!
2. Know your lines! Even though you can use a script it’s important that you know your lines so you can act more like the character!
3. Try to be as much like the character as possible. Change your voice or body language if needed.
4. If you make a mistake, IT IS OKAY!! Just move on and pretend like it didn’t happen!
5. PROJECTION!! You need to be loud and clear when you talk and deliver lines because when it comes time for the show, we will not be using microphones!
6. Smile! We want to see that you’re excited to be there!
7. Don’t be nervous! This is a fun and exciting experience :)
8. BREAK A LEG!! Well...not literally. We want you all to have fun while doing this and we are so excited to see you! We have been in these positions before, too, and although we know it’s nerve-wracking and stressful, it is best to just be you and have fun with it.

   LEAD MALE ROLES:
   Alex:
   Alex is the most popular boy in school. Every guy wants to be his friend and tries to act like him. All the girls want to go out with him. He is charming and knows the right thing to say in every situation. He plays soccer and runs track and always performs with top results in each sport. Although he has a lot of self-esteem and thinks highly of himself, we see his soft side later in the show when he becomes nervous about asking a girl out on a date.
   
   Daniel:
   Daniel is the troublemaker. He is always pulling practical jokes on teachers and his classmates. Those victimized by his pranks may think him to be the bully, while his friends realize he is just trying to be the class clown. It is revealed later, however, that his playful side might just be a cover-up in an effort to get attention from his friends that his parents won’t show him at home.
   
   Michael:
   Michael is an outsider. Nobody really knows anything about him, except for that he keeps to himself. He’s the type of guy people will talk to when they have to make conversation, but forget about as soon as their last class is over. Michael likes Maria, but has no idea how to approach her because she seems so confident and way out of his league. As the story progresses, we are invited into Michael’s world to see his Fortune Cookie collection and discover why he avoids attempts at new relationships.
   
   Sam:
   Sam is the do-gooder who can never do any wrong. In the eyes of both adults and his peers, Sam is the ideal role model who always gets his homework in on time and will talk to anyone about anything, always able to give great advice. He is admired for maintaining the status quo and exists as a constant in everyone’s crazy lives. He finds strength in his religion and is not afraid to express his connection with his faith.
   
   Luke:
   Luke is the wingman. He is Alex’s best friend and always has his back because he knows Alex can use a little help every now and then. He keeps his friend grounded and realizes that there is more to life than the next party and hanging out with girls. He is often torn between making the right and wrong decisions and gets in trouble when he is caught breaking the rules while trying to help.LEAD FEMALE ROLES:
   
   Olivia:
   Olivia is a nerd. She has glasses and people make fun of her. She does not like the teasing and name calling that happens to her, but she really does love school. She likes to stay home when everyone else is hanging out on the weekends because she knows that getting in trouble is not worth the risk. After a chance encounter at a school event that she was dragged along to by her friend, Maria, Olivia becomes close with another character and an unexpected relationship grows from, seemingly, nowhere.
   
   Maria:
   Maria easily falls victim to peer pressure. Her older sister who has already gone through school had a pretty tough time and Maria looked up to her as an example. In an effort to fit in with the popular kids her sister did things that she knew were wrong and Maria seems to be following that same path. Hopefully she can realize that other people’s opinions aren’t important and that the “popular” life isn’t really what she thought it was.
   
   Anna and Natalie:
   Anna and Natalie are twin sisters. Despite their shared DNA, the two girls could not be more different. Anna is the star athlete who takes the MVP title after every game. She devotes her life to the advancement of her athletic abilities and, because of this, develops a negative self-perception in regards to beauty and charm. Natalie, on the other hand, is very popular and one of the prettiest girls in school. She has a lot of friends, but her self-consciousness lies in the fact that she is not the brightest. She embodies the idea of the “dumb-blonde,” and tries to pass it off as playful and funny in person while in private she acknowledges her lack of intellectual gift and truly wants to be seen as smart. Throughout the story the sisters face difficult challenges in their relationship and both grow from the struggles.
   
   Kate:
   Kate is the “celebrity” who everybody avoids because of her self-acclaimed stardom. Think Sharpay Evans from “High School Musical” or Rachel Berry from “Glee.” She has a very high self-esteem and no idea why she doesn’t have more friends. She has convinced herself that she deserves a standing ovation whenever she walks into the classroom and, despite her great level of confidence, might get pushed down a few levels when she realizes that other people deserve the chance to shine too.

A new season of theatre!

Hello all,

It is almost time for Lineville's play to return! The directors are so excited to meet new actors and actresses, as well as seeing some old faces! We have a great play for you (we wrote it ourselves!) and are anxious for auditions. We are meeting with Mr. Hart soon and will have our informational meeting on November 8th. We anticipate auditions being on Thursday, November 15th. All information about auditions will be discussed at the first meeting. Remember that this is a large time commitment and we only have a few weeks to make an entire show!

On another note, we are welcoming in four new directors: Nate Huempfner, Ashleigh Burgei, Bri Beauchamp, and Chris Gronski. They are all junior IB Diploma Candidates and have great ideas for the play!

Take care,
Courtney Guc, Hannah Kitslaar, and Freddy Quiram
