“Bad Auditions by Bad Actors”: A Short Comedy One Act play originally written by Ian McWethy. The show runs about 45 minutes which is competition length for fall performances. In the play, a casting director Carol Danes (played by Echo Guest) is given the task of casting the lead roles in the iconic play “Romeo and Juliet”. In the beginning, she is confident that she can find a Romeo and a Juliet by the end of the week. Her confidence starts to dwindle when she watches the auditions of people. As each new personality arrives on the stage, the cast of Bad Auditions by Bad Actors will make sure that the play lives up to its name, showing the many ways to fail an audition. Alongside her much less eager assistant, Roger, played by Hayden Englerth. Carol is soon dismayed to find that the auditioners range from talentless to completely unhinged. The show features an array of quirky characters and the actors excel at making each auditioner memorable to the audience. A night of laughter and fun awaits!
Show times are: Friday, October 20th @ 7 PM and Saturday, October 21st at 7 PM Tickets are available at the door. Students $5.00 and Adults $10.00. **Bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry!
State Theatre UW-Greenbay Nov. 16-18th 2023 https://www.wisdaa.org/state-theatre/
Holmen Theatre will be participating in the One Act competition season this fall. We strive to stand out at state with our show, our tech, and our crew. We also have several students participating in the Thespy competition this season and are excited to experience all it has to offer! The Thespy Competition is an additional opportunity for individuals, duets, or small groups (3-16 students) in acting, musical theatre, musical theatre dance, and technical design portfolio events. To give students an opportunity to practice and get feedback, we are holding an open, online-only Thespy contest in mid-October (video due 10/17, adjudication Oct. 19-21); and the State-level contest both virtually and in-person at the State Theatre Festival at UW-Green Bay, on Friday, Nov. 17, 2023. The WISDAA organization welcomes middle and high schools to be among the 1,800 high school students who gather each year for the Wisconsin Interscholastic Theatre Festival (#witf) — held since 1930 — for three days packed with workshops featuring trained professionals, one-act and individual event contest performances, showcase productions, and exhibitors from theatre vendors to collegiate programs.
Join High School Forensics!
Get involved today! See Mrs. Roswall at the high school if interested. Interscholastic academic/performing arts sports, such as One-Act Theatre, Speech, Debate, and Film, are stepping stones to success. Speech and performance are lifelong skills that are fostered through local and state contests of the WISDAA. Forensics is a team that allows flexibility with other activities, where students can make friends, challenge themselves, and build their confidence. Holmen Forensics stands out as a team that is dedicated and recognized for its overall accomplishments in our district. We have a wonderful coaching team that drives our success. We compete in local events with the end goal of attending the State speech competition in mid-April, held on the UW Madison Campus.
