AUDITION MONOLOGUE:
HUMPTY
A scene from the play Holka Polka: A Fairy Tale Mystery from the Land of Oz by D. M. Larson
“It was a dark and stormy night in fairyland. A night just perfect for witches. With fairy godmother in the clink, I began to wonder if we were ready for a world turned topsy-turvy. Sweet witches and friendly wolves. Wise wizards and princesses with pig noses. It’s a world gone mad but somehow things are looking sunny-side up and we may find some kind of happily ever after in fairytale land.
I was about to call it a day because I had this over easy feeling coming over me… when she rolled in. She had the figure of a fortress and the countenance of a cobra. She was the goddaughter; the witchiest woman west of Walla Walla.
I wondered if this was some kind of yolk. I had already cracked the case of the sleeping prince. Fairy godmother was left with egg on her face. The sleeping spell was only the Easter coloring on a much more rotten egg. She had bigger eggs to fry. And the corruption nearly broke fairytale land apart. Thankfully they had me to put it back together again.”
The cast includes:
