[Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre]

My Mother#*!^%#! College Life Auditions

Avenue Arts Marketplace & Theatre announces auditions for MY MOTHER#*!^%#!
COLLEGE LIFE

Located at 324 Cleveland Ave. NW Canton, Ohio 44702

SYNOPSIS:What’s in the minds and hearts of college students today? In 40
monologues and a few dialogues, this multicultural ensemble questions
everything they encounter: social justice and gender identity,
self-awareness and relationship boundaries, future prospects and roommate
etiquette. What emerges is a humorous and heartbreaking portrait of a new
generation struggling with higher education’s promise of “personal
transformation.” Structured in three acts, the play begins with
matriculation and ends with graduation. The monologues in Act I, titled
“Great Expectations,” focus on encounters with new friends, financial aid,
antidepressants, homework, sex, sleep deprivation and courses in physics
and math. Act II, “Paradise Lost,” features parties, budding and broken
relationships, unexpected encounters with race and religion, sexual
orientation and hitting rock bottom. Act III, “Metamorphoses,” portrays
students emerging from four years of challenge and change with surprising
insights, political convictions and plans for a scary, uncertain future.
The mixture of serious and comedic monologues captures the extreme
difficulty—sometimes absurd and at other times overwhelming—of
self-discovery and community-building. While the monologues convey the
sense that students often feel alone in their quest for great success or
simply survival, the ensemble itself presents a very different truth—at
least they’re alone together.
