Advice

Along with Solo Musical, this is probably the scariest of all events to enter: it's just you.  So make sure you bring along two selections you can personally relate to.  They have to mean something to you, and bring the best of your acting/soul/spirit to bear. 

 

If they're just words to you, and it's just a scene that some character is involved with, you're destined for no better than a Good in this category.  If you believe in the scene, then you've got a great start on earning a Superior.

 

This is also the most popular event at Districts, period.  Every troupe brings some of their very best actors to this event.  If you're going to enter this one - be prepared to work HARD for every little point towards an Excellent or a Superior.
