open | what misadventure is so early up

WHO: ANY & ALL
WHERE: Recollé Community Center
WHEN: March 15th, Afternoon/Evening
WHAT: Auditions and sign ups for the Community Production of Romeo & Juliet.
WARNINGS: N/A, perhaps for language, will update as necessary.

Sign-ins for auditions and sign-ups for production crew in all aspects are at the table in front of the stage; the director and another community arts program associate can be found there. After signing in, those auditioning for parts are invited to pick up and share one of pamphlets with selected scenes from the play itself:

Act I, Scene I: Where Gregory and Sampson fight with Abraham and Balthazar.

Act II, Scene II: The infamous balcony scene between Romeo and Juliet, from Romeo's "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?" to Juliet's "How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?"

Act III, Scene I: Where Mercutio and Tybalt fight, only for Romeo to interrupt and Tybalt to stab Mercutio under Romeo's arm. From Tybalt's, "Follow me close, for I will speak to them." to Mercutio's "Come, sir, your passado."

And a fourth, randomized scene that doesn't appear to be the same amoung all the pamphlets. The director will be keeping things rolling by tossing auditioners on stage and ushering seconds to read parts if people aren't presenting in pairs; the monologues he waves off, saying he's more interested in the dramatics of people's on stage chemistry than their ability to drone on to the audience alone.

Details and scheduling on props, costumes, setting pieces, and the rest are all a mess of discussions throughout the night; the director takes a few breaks for refreshments, leaving the auditorium and falls and the rest of the community center proper (along with the grounds around the community center) for people to practice before their time comes to be up on stage.

It is, along with a few others. French was the one I studied, but I know a little bit of quite a few languages. It became something of a hobby to learn what I could. I rarely actually have chances to talk with native speakers, though.

[ ooc; works for me!! /o/ ]

[She switched into french, choosing a fairly basic and easier to understand vocabulary. It was rude to lunge in too far, after all.]

If you want to practice with someone, you may. It is nice to not lose touch with my mother tongue.

[ Yu pauses for a moment; he can speak French, yes, but he's not fluent. He makes sure he understands her before he responds. ]

It's enjoyable for me to practice as well. To be proficient with languages is important to me. I really appreciate your offer.

[She kept her pace of speaking easy, not too fast. It wasn't childish, but she'd helped tutor a few people when she first came to America. She remembered how to do it.]

You are very welcome. I think it's good for us both. So, anytime you wish, call me. I will tell you if I am free.

I am no longer studying French in school, but maybe we could meet for coffee sometimes? And speak only in French.

[ Point being: he doesn't actively study it anymore, but it'll be good to practice in a situation like that. ]

[true_noir]

That would be a nice chance, yes. A social meeting could be a good way to stay in practice. It is better than most.

Alright. Then I'll be in touch?
