I have decided to major in Theatre arts at USU Eastern in Price. I auditioned for colleges at UTA (Utah Theatre Association). I got called back for many and got offered scholarships for some and picked one and my path was clear after auditioning, looking into and visiting colleges.

Contemporary Dramatic Monologue
Pieces of Life by Nathaniel Spears.
You know what I found out tonight?
That life is a puzzle...except there is no picture on the box.
No kind of direction at all... and just when you think you got it. You don't.
Because there is always pieces missing. There is always something missing and (Beat)
I miss her already...
It should have been me.. I should have been the one driving that car.
She didn't deserve to go like that... she didn't do anything.
We were supposed to grow old together. We were supposed to live together and have kids and be happy.
We were supposed to die together.
I can't believe she died without me..
She was a piece of my heart... a piece of my puzzle and now that she's gone there is just a big gapping hole
And I don't know if it will ever be filled.

Contemporary Comedic Monologue
The Odd Couple by Neil Simon
I'll tell you exactly what it is.
It's the cooking cleaning and crying.
It's the talking in your sleep and the moose calls that open your ears at two o' clock in the morning
Felix, I'm cracking up...Everything you do irritates me
And when you aren't here the things I know your going to do when you come in irritate me.
You leave me little notes on my pillow
I can't stand little notes on my pillow.
"Were all out of corn flakes."
F.U.
It took me three hours to figure out that F.U. stood for Felix Ungar
It's not your fault Felix. It's a rotten combination.

Classical Monologue
Electra by Sophlocles
Strange indeed that you.
The daughter with such a father as yours should forget him
You just said that if you could find the strength you would show your hatred of them.
Does this not crown our miseries with cowardice?
For tell me.
What should I gain by ceasing from these laments?
Do I not Live? Miserably. I know.
But you tell me of your hatred hate. In word alone while indeed you are with the slayers of your father.
I would never yield to them though I were promised the gifts which now make you proud.
Be yours the richly spread table and a life of luxury.
For me it food enough that I do not wound my own consiounce.
I do not covet such a privelge as yours
And nor would you.
If you were wise.

Falcon in the DIve by Frank Wildhorn
There was a dream a dying ember
There was a dream I don't remember
But I will resurrect that dream through river streams and hills grow steeper
Or here in Hell where l gets cheaper or here in Hell the blood runs deeper
And when the final duel is near, I'll lift my spear and fly.
Piercing into the sky and Higher
And the strong will thrive.
Yes the weak will cower
While the fittest will survive
If we wait for the darkest hour
Till we spring alive
Then with claws of fire
We devour like a Falcon in the Dive.

Yes the weak will cower
While the fittest will survive
If we wait for the darkest hour
Till we spring alive
Then with claws of fire
We devour like a Falcon in the Dive.
Formal College Visit
After the UTA auditions I got called back to several colleges that I auditioned for. I decided to visit USU and USU Eastern to check out the theatre programs there and audition.
