Davis theater arts students audition at GHA Combine

Theater art students from Davis High School auditioned at the Greater Houston Area Auditions over the Thanksgiving break.

Four Davis seniors auditioned for major universities and colleges. The students had to audition with one serious monologue performance and one contrasting monologue. They had only two minutes to perform both selections in the auditorium with professional and university directors, with the hope of gaining a second round call back and interview. If the students were called back for an interview, then they met on spot with the director or professor of the theatre program, and were invited to the final round audition, as part of the university’s admission and scholarship process.
