Monologue Drama Part II

Okay! So I have found around six or seven decent monologues, have worked them up and am using them for auditions and things are going well. However … There are a lot of calls right now and some are pretty specific. If I don’t have a piece for what is being asked for, do I work up something new at the last minute (which may not have the deep dive I’ve done on my other pieces) or do I just go with something solid which may not “fit”? And what about next year? I’m thinking that you can’t go back to these companies with the same pieces next year. Do I need to go out and find another half-dozen pieces? I’m thinking yes, but I have to say, there is a guilty pleasure in doing a piece I enjoy, something I have worked on for a while, something that feels like pulling on a well-worn pair of jeans. Ah, the drama. It never ends ;–}
