Hello All!
I don't know how many of you are active theatre-enthusiasts, or enjoy reading play scripts for fun, but I'm in need of some help and I figured I'd see if any of my fellow hypsters could help me out!
I have an audition with The Actors Studio in May for their MFA program in theatre. For their audition, they actually let you bring a partner and perform a five minute scene. I've been having a bit of trouble trying to find a good scene. (I've ready probably 15plays so far with no dice). The partner I want to take is a former professor and mentor of mine. She's a woman in her mid-40's, and I'm trying to find a good scene that would fit both of our types. To give you an idea of my type, I'm 24, and previous roles I've played are D'Artagnan in the Three Musketeers, Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, and Todd in The Author's Voice. Also, I've changed my Avy to a pic of myself (I know it's a small picture and rather blurry, but it'll give you an idea of what I look like).
Any who, I've been reading a lot of plays with Mother/Son dynamics, but I haven't found a really good meaty scene yet (also one that has to feature me a bit more prominently since I'm the one auditioning.)
I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions/ideas for scenes that would work. It doesn't necessarily have to be a mother/son dynamic either. Just something that would fit both of our types. Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I should note that they only want contemporary scenes, so no Shakespeare, Moliere, ect. And it would be wise from me to stay away from contemporary plays that are set in a specifically styled time period (Exmp: Lion in Winter).
