DRAMA AT TRINITY SCHOOL Trinity School has a strong tradition in Drama and our students have appeared in film, television and in the West End. The boys take touring productions into local schools and to China. Academically, at both GCSE and A Level, the Drama Department gains some of the highest grades within the school. As such, competition for Drama scholarships is great and we have to operate a rigorous audition process, which we outline below. Included in your Scholarship pack you will find an audition piece which your son must learn and prepare for performance on the day of his audition. We ask that he also prepares a piece of script of his own choosing, from a published play. The piece should last no longer than two minutes and he must bring two complete copies of the script, not just the extract, with him as he will be asked about the play. Please advise us in advance of the chosen script by returning the tear-off strip below. On the day your son will take part in a Drama workshop, one of which will involve boys who already attend the school. The workshops will be run by two of the Drama teachers and they will be looking to see how well your son works with others. Scholarship interviewees will be withdrawn individually from the workshops to be auditioned, firstly on the pieces they have prepared, and finally on an unseen piece. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DRAMA SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION Surname:...

YOU RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN Adapted by Clark Gesner from the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M Schultz PUBLISHED BY HAL LEONARD PUBLISHING CORPORATION CHARLIE BROWN was first brought to life as a cartoon character by Charles M Schultz. Here, CHARLIE is alone in the playground eating his lunch. He is speaking his thoughts aloud to himself, hoping that the little redhead girl will talk to him. CHARLIE BROWN: I think lunchtime is about the worst time of the day for me. Always having to sit here alone. Of course, sometimes mornings aren t so pleasant, either waking up and wondering if anyone would really miss me if I never got out of bed. Then there s the night, too lying there and thinking about all the stupid things I ve done during the day. And all those hours in between when I do all those stupid things. Well, lunchtime is among the worst times of the day for me. Well, I guess I d better see what I ve got. (He opens the bag, unwraps a sandwich, and looks inside.) Peanut butter. (He bites and chews.) Some psychiatrists say that people who eat peanut butter sandwiches are lonely. I guess they re right. And if you re really lonely, the peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth. (He munches quietly, idly fingering the bench.) Boy, the PTA sure did a good job of painting these benches. (He looks off to one side.) There s that cute little redhead girl eating her lunch over there. I wonder what she d do if I went over and asked her if I could sit and have lunch with her. She d probably laugh right in my face. It s hard on a face when it gets laughed in. There s an empty place next to her on the bench. There s no reason why I couldn t just go over and sit there. I could do that right now. All I have to do is stand up. (He stands.) I m standing up. (He sits.) I m sitting down. I m a coward. I m so much of a coward she wouldn t even think of looking at me. She hardly ever does look at me. In fact, I can t remember her ever looking at me. Why shouldn t she look at me? Is there a reason in the world why she shouldn t look at me? Is she so great and am I so small that she couldn t spare one little moment just to (He freezes.) She s looking at me. (In terror he looks one way, then another.) She s looking at me. (His head looks all around, frantically trying to find something else to notice. His teeth clench. Tension builds. Then, with one motion, he pops the paper bag over his head.)
