Kids in grades 4-12 from KUSD are invited to audition for "The Night of January 16th". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: To the world, he was a startlingly successful international tycoon, head of a vast financial empire. To his beautiful secretary-mistress, he was a god-like hero to be served with her mind, soul, and body. To his aristocratic young wife, he was an elemental force of nature to be tamed. To his millionaire father-in-law, he was a giant whose single error could be used to destroy him. What kind of man was Bjorn Faulkner? Only you, the jury, can decide. Additional info: Students are asked to perform one monologue from the attached monologues. These monologues do not need to be fully memorized, but the performer should be quite familiar with them.
