A Poll: what is your audition monologue?

[Jason Kendall]

I would like to conduct a poll for our group.

I have noticed that when we do auditions, we see the same monologues
many times. In the interest of helping you choose a less commonly-
used Shakespeare monologue, please email me your first-choice
Shakespeare comedic and dramatic monologues. I will tally up the
totals and post the results tomorrow night. So, you have until then
to see if yours is common or unique.

I ask this, because there was one day where I actually saw 5 Julias
(tear up the letter) from "Two Gents." The next day, we saw 6 Violas
(I left no ring) from "Twelfth Night". Brutus was popular once too.
Just trying to help you all out.

I won't publish names of people or who does what. I will just tally
it up and report.

You can just respond to this email, and I will sum them up by tomorrow
night.

Let's see if yours is duplicated....
