Picture an ensemble of young adults hurling themselves into riotous action, colorful characters, glorious language and a bond of friendship that lasts a lifetime. The NEYT Senior Shakespeare program draws high school students from around the region due to the superlative quality of both the instruction and the performances. Actors get to experience the kind of training found at theatre conservatories and university programs right here at our very own “Globe”. NEYT faculty is happy to assist you and answer your questions before audition time.
AUDITION DATE: MAY 25, 4 - 6 pm at NEYT
Each student is to present only one passage from Shakespeare's plays, approximately 20 lines long. Be sure to research the words in your text that you are unsure of and learn the piece by heart. Know what you are saying and why. Know who you are and where your are and to whom you are speaking. (You will most likely be asked to discuss this at the audition, so really get to know the circumstances of your piece.) Look at the text with an eye towards what your character wants. Be bold. Dive in. Play with all the passion and clarity you can. Have fun!!

The Pajama Game is a musical based on the novel 7-1/2 Cents by Richard Bissell. It features a score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross. The story deals with labor troubles in a pajama factory, where worker demands for a seven-and-a-half cent raise are going unheeded. In the midst of this ordeal, love blossoms between Babe, the grievance committee head, and Sid, the new factory superintendent.
A perennial audience favorite, the original Broadway production of Pajama Game opened on May 13, 1954 and ran for 1,063 performances. It was revived in 1973, and again in 2006 by The Roundabout Theatre Company on Broadway. The original production won a Tony for Best Musical, and the 2006 Broadway revival won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.

Please prepare 16 bars of a ballad song and 16 bars of an up tempo "belt" type song from the musical theatre repertoire. Remember to act while singing! And bring your sheet music with you. Dress in comfortable clothing as there will be a short sequence of dance steps for everyone to learn together. (Pajama Game has lots of dancing and lots of big chorus dance numbers.) We will ask you to read short scenes from the play with other actors - you may choose which character(s) you want to read for. Reading selections will be copied and available in the office for you to take home to review and study before the audition date. Auditions will run from 4:00 to 6:00 and we expect everyone to come at the start and stay until the end as we will be doing some call backs right then and there and want to mix and match actors within various scenes.
