UPCOMING AUDITIONS

RAPUNZEL AND THE WITCH CAST MONOLOGUES

Not all characters are on here. But reading one of these if asked, gives the director a good sense of your acting ability.

RAPUNZEL:

That’s how my story began. A Fairytale Garden. And a crime. Willa was head of the Enchanted Witches. They say her heart was made of the same stone as the Tower. (Sighs) Some days the witch drove me crazy. I liked working with her plants. But not the other stuff she had me do. Like cleaning my room and Math. Who cares if the distance a witch rides a broom equals how fast she flies? Bor-ing. I just had to escape and so I started to grow my hair….

ZORA: Villain Fire Witch. Plotting to take over the Enchanted Witches.

At Hexagon Witch Academy…my mother was the lunch lady. Wore a hairnet instead of a pointy Witch hat. Kids laughed at us. But not Willa. She always shared her spiders with me. I should have liked her. But I hated her. ‘Cause she pitied me. Which is worse. Now, I’ve finally beat her. And when I rule, I’ll make it law --all witches will wear hairnets from now on. I’ll rise as Willa falls… (raises fist in the air)

WILLA: Leader of the Enchanted Witches

It’s so quiet without Rapunzel. That girl never stopped complaining. (Laughs at the memory) “The stones are too cold. You wear silly hats. I hate my bangs.” She was a wild one. But she was a bright spot in this dark forest. (Sighs) I knew I couldn’t keep her. You can never hold onto wild, precious things for long. They need to be free. So goodbye, my sweet Rapunzel. I’ll always keep a candle burning in the window for you…. Although you’ll probably complain it’s a fire hazard.

PRINCE RAFE: Good guy

Me? I want to be a scientist. Not a stuffy Prince. But I need money to study. And my Kingdom’s so broke the castle drawbridge is two planks – held together with duct tape and a lot of hope. (Sighs) See, I wanted to save the planet. Not some long-haired spoiled Princess. But fine, I’ll save the girl, then go back to the dreary palace where all my dreams will be crushed for the rest of my useless, unexciting non-scientific life.

PRINCE VALENTINE: Handsome Egomanic

Being fabulous is expensive. There are my Royal outfits to purchase, by season and color. Teams of white horses and Polo fees. Oh, and fur-lined capes won’t buy themselves. Then there’s peacocks. Essential for parades. Although keeping them in line is tricky. But I leave that to ‘my people’. I’m just here to make life a little prettier. (Beat) You’re welcome.

YOUNG WITÇH

It’s hard to be a witch these days. Brooms are electric. Wands are just so- basic. And these hats haven’t been updated since the 1600’s. But on a moonlit night when I’m up on the roof, catching falling stars in my Wish jar… there’s nothing else like it.
