9/10 Applicant Audition Information
Hello MAD applicants and parents!! Because of our current COVID-19 situation the Music, Arts, and Drama program will be conducting auditions differently this year. We will no longer be having interviews with individual applicants or hosting a big group audition. Instead we ask that all our applicants submit a video to our email: davecarolynmad@gmail.com When we have completed the review of the applications, letters and audition videos, we will be sending out acceptance letters to MAD and if you are still interested, you must give your acceptance letter to us here at Wood Street . If the email address for parents/guardians, or phone numbers are not correct on your application, unfortunately, we cannot contact you and we will not consider you for MAD next year. We have no other means to get this information and when we have finished auditions, those spots are filled. We are not required to fill every place at MAD, but only those who worked to earn their place with us. There is, however, a wait-list for the first semester that we draw from as applicants either agree to attend, or decide not to come to MAD. This is drawn from every year, so be aware that right up until the end of this year, we may ask someone from that list to replace someone who chose to bow out. Video Instructions: Your video will only be 2 minutes long. The first minute we ask that you: Introduce yourself: Your first and last name The grade you will be going into Show us your poster and explain the three separate topics. (The poster instructions are included below). Answer these two questions: 1. MAD is a huge commitment. We need our students to be at school, to complete their assignments on time, to learn their lines and attend all the rehearsals, build days, and shows. Are there any extracurricular activities or trips that would pull you away from school? 2. Putting on a show can be a very stressful time. You need to be able to work with all different personality types, work with limited resources and work in a limited timeframe. Give us an example of a time in your life when you've dealt with a similar amount of stress and how you handled that situation. The second minute will be your audition piece: Perform a one-minute monologue that you've written, which means: - You have prepared and memorized a one-minute monologue that you have written yourself. (No edits or cuts in your video and no reading your lines from behind the camera). - You will be a character that is aged 25 years, or older. You can be any gender, but you must not be of a different ethnic background. - Create a costume/dress as your character, and this means more than just putting on a pair of glasses! Make an effort. *Along with this video please submit a picture of your poster. Poster Instructions: Please complete a poster. The poster must: Include your name Be completely covered/coloured. No blank spaces. Present three topics: 1. Something you are good at. 2. What you would like to learn at MAD. 3. What your future plans in life are. You can choose any number of mediums for your artwork on this poster: drawing, painting, collage, pastel etc. The video and poster must be submitted by April 1st. The submission should be titled with your full name You have a little under two weeks. Use your time wisely and don't wait until the final day to submit (that is usually when technical difficulties tend to happen). If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us! We're looking forward to seeing your pieces! David Kanary Kirin Devries Carolyn Westberg |

Sometimes students do not always get the role they were hoping for, after auditioning for a play. Have you experienced disappointment of a similar kind? How did you deal with it? Are you prepared to accept and do your very best in the role that you're given in the MAD productions?
