Arrive/Mingle

Psyche out the competition. Encourage your friends as you prepare for your own audition! Also, there are water, tea, and some light snacks off to one side.

It was possible Quinn had entirely lost her mind. But she liked the movie even after having turned into somebody from it, she missed the part of cheerleading that was about being in front of a crowd, and she figured that if she was ever going to be onstage in lingerie she should do it while she still had the body.

So. Here she was at the audition, trying to look like she totally did this all the time.

Annie hadn't decided whether she was going to audition or not. She hadn't really checked out anything about the musical or she would not be here but she'd decided this morning that she maybe felt like doing something a little impulsive and go to the auditions for the thing she'd been hearing about for days and if you didn't think that was impulsive, that was your problem, not hers.

So she was here, trying to psyche herself up.

Audtion!

One or both of the directors will provide feedback! You may start with either your monologue or your song. If you need a monologue or a song, one will be provided for you!

Miley really, really did not know what this show was about.

Really. Like, at all.

"Hi!" she chirped, hopping up onto the stage. "Hi, Jono," she added with a little wave. "I'm here to audition!"

Duh.

Re: Audtion!

[furnaceface]

OhDearGod.

Jono's expression actually more or less said the same thing as he looked up at the stage, too hungover to be tactful, and grunted.

"Miley, Sunshine, did you by any chance do any research into what this show was about before you showed up for auditions?"

Re: Audtion!

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Miley blinked.

"Nuh-uh. Why?"

Re: Audtion!

Quinn came up on the stage with two pieces of paper in her hands, walking slowly to disguise any nerves.

"Hey," she drawled. "I'm Quinn Fabray. I'm here to try out."

Re: Audtion!

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Quinn," Troy greeted her. "I'm Troy, and this is Jonothon -- we're directing the production.

"Did you have anything prepared, or would you like us to provide something?"

Re: Audtion!

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

"I have the song," Quinn said, with a glance to her papers just to make sure she hadn't done anything awesome like forget it in her seat. "And I kind of have a monologue, but if you have one everyone is doing I can swap that in. What's easiest?"

Re: Audtion!

Annie had spent a lot of time sort of half-getting ready to get up, then shooting herself down with nerves, then telling herself that no, this time she was totally going to do it, and then sitting down again.

So when she got up for a turn, it was more like she jumped up and almost ran up on stage before she could talk herself out of it again.

"Hi I'm Annie Edison and I'm here to audition I don't have anything prepared."

...She spoke like she was trying to get it all out before she could talk herself out of it, too.

Re: Audtion!

Jono gave Annie a smile that was more or less pleasant, mostly because he'd gotten coffee and Advil by this point and was able to sit up without the marching band of elephants with tubas dancing around inside his skull.

"That's fine, Annie," he replied, shuffling through his papers. "Do you need a monologue, a song, or both, luv?"

He was kind of assuming that the nerves were because she was aware of the nature of the show, here, as opposed to just general stage fright.

Re: Audtion!

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

To be fair, the nerves would have been about the nature of the show, too!

"Both. You know. If that's okay. But yeah. Both."

She just barely managed not to voice the Stop talking, Annie. Okay. that was added there in her mental narration.

Speak to the Directors!

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

When they ping in!

Re: Speak to the Directors!

[furnaceface]

.... It was coffee that you drank for a hangover, right? Because, good lord, after the adult sleepover, and I Never, and Jamie buying him drinks, Jono really, really needed the coffee if it was.

But he was here. Here for Petey Sci-Fi and there were auditions and things and ugh. Kill him.

Re: Speak to the Directors!

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

"... So this should be interesting," Troy said, smiling a little. "How're you doing after last night?"

Re: Speak to the Directors!

[furnaceface]

"If you love me Troy, you'll kill me," Jono replied, sounding all-too-pleasant between grit teeth. "How many of those I Never categories did I actually drink for?"

Yeah, Jono. It was probably all those import lagers you'd had Jamie buying for you after you told him you wanted to punch him in the face.

Re: Speak to the Directors!

Kenzi could kill you, or she could give you a frappachino, Jonothan. Your call.

"Loooook what I have," Kenzi tempted him. "And hi! Rapunzel signed on for more art shenanigans, we're getting started today."

Re: Speak to the Directors!

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

Troy was... not as hungover as Jono. He'd been paying for all his own drinks, after all. That said?

Definitely hungover.

Coffee. All the coffee.

Stage Manager and Techies!

[oncourtandstage.livejournal.com]

For those who are here and make with the pinging!

Re: Stage Manager and Techies!

Billy was here and not at all hungover because he was underage and didn't like alcohol that much.

Okay, so he'd never really had alcohol, but he was pretty sure he wouldn't like it anyway.

He was armed with his notebook and approximately a dozen pencils, so he figured he was as prepared for this as he could be.

Re: Stage Manager and Techies!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Dude, I'm back! And they're paying me!"

Hi, Billy, how are you?

Re: Stage Manager and Techies!

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Kenzi was here! With notepads and measuring tape and paint. And frappucinos, if you're desperate for one. Or just never tried one. Critiquing the auditions. Yup.

Re: Stage Manager and Techies!

[leavingthenest.livejournal.com]

Oh, oh! Paaaaaint!

Yay!

Which was to say, Rapunzel was totally there and ready to make some scenery.
