Allison Page brings poetry to the audition process.
Monologues are dumb
Wait you want me to cold read
I miss monologues
Oh please don’t make me
Reading with him is torture
Give me the tall one
Sixty five actors
Hot stuffy hallway of sweat
Rabid dogs who read
To be or not to—
Oh god I forgot the rest
To be or not to—
Don’t make me watch them
I’ll just sign people in k
I can’t take it man
I wore extensions
I totally look 13
Cast me now I’m teen
Don’t let them see fear
Show your teeth for aggression
I hope it’s working
Oh no not this guy
Summer of ’13 he saw
I tripped into poop
To be or not to—
I think I got it this time
Or not to pee — damn
Did not dress to move
Swing dancing in pencil skirt
Fetch me a seamstress
It’s Spanish oh boy
Uh no habla espanol
Si si si si si
Scene calls for kissing
Who kisses at auditions
He wouldn’t—mmmfffff
To be or not to—
Oh god am I wearing pants
—That is the pants—shit
Oh great she’s here blech
Might as well give it to her
Shiny hair kill me
To be or not to be—
Nailing it so hard right now
THAT IS THE QUESTION
They’re releasing me
They must know they’re casting me
Or the opposite
