Is performing a monologue from a Disney movie acceptable for a college audition?

I have an audition to get into a college theater program where i have to preform 2 monologues. I was thinking of doing John Proctor's "Because it is my name!" monologue from The Crucible and a monologue by Syndrome from Disney's The Incredibles.Is performing a monologue from a Disney movie acceptable for a college audition?
A lot of times in college theatre programs, they're a lot more lax about the actual material you perform; they just want you to perform well and show them what you've got, so to speak.



With that said, I wouldn't recommend doing a monologue from a Disney movie - or any film for that matter.



If you're auditioning for a theatre program, they're going to want to see you doing monologues from plays written for the stage as opposed to those for film. They're two entirely different mediums, and it would be best to cater to a theatrical audience by doing a monologue from a theatrical piece.



I know that in my audition, they legitimately discouraged people from using monologues from film. They asked that we prepare two contrasting theatrical monologues. Generally speaking, they would like to see one classical piece (please, don't do Shakespeare! Very highly discouraged, unless you legitimately have prior training in Shakespearian acting) and one contemporary piece. Or one comedic piece, and one dramatic piece.
Bird Girl has it right - it's a huge risk. The only reason to do it is because you're going to knock it out of the park and be so completely amazing that they''ll appreciate your wit and originality, and know that you chose this monologue because you're at a level where you can flaunt convention. It's a bit like a concert pianist playing a modern pop song and riffing on it in the style of Beethoven. If you're that level, it might be brilliant...



The problem is that you're asking if it's even acceptable on yahoo answers, which implies you don't know what's expected at the auditions.



Question: How many monologues do you have at your fingertips, ready to perform? If it's less than twelve, you're not in the professional class. Stick to doing something expected, as well as you can. If they laugh appreciatively at your "Syndrome", and say "That's very funny - what else have you got?" What are you going to do?

I don't know a working actor with less than a 8 or 9 solid, prepared monologues they could drop into when asked, and a dozen is typical.Is performing a monologue from a Disney movie acceptable for a college audition?
I guess it wouldn't have occurred to you to perform a monologue from the PLAY "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller? I can't imagine why you would want to do a monologue not only from a Disney MOVIE, but from a cartoon to boot. If this was acceptable, I can't imagine it would be a very good theater program. I would suggest you go on the college website and check into audition information for the theatre department. They often have very specific criteria for students to meet. Make sure you read and understand what those are. If the criteria will allow for you to do a monologue from a Disney cartoon, fine. However, you will be going up against some student performing something from William Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Lillian Hellman, Edward Albee and things of that nature. How do think you will compare?
I gave never been to a college audition before, but in my opinion, it's not the content of the monologue but how you act it. Now, granted, they'd probably want an unusual dialogue or character, but this problem is addressed well with the character Syndrome. All I can say is that I don't see a problem.

IDK... but I auditioned at the little theatre around the corner when I was 15 and sang I can go the distance from Herculez and my dialogue was from The 101 dalmations... I did the one where Cruela was all crazy and stuff :P I got the lead... so that MIGHT help :P



but most audioner people want dialogues from Classic movies or from original movies... so Im sure Incredibles is pretty original :)
