Audition Excerpt 1:
(At the lunch table in the cafeteria, as Arthur, the New Kid, enters.
Spoken to friends also at table)
Kid:
Hey, isn’t that the new kid? He doesn’t know where to sit.
(Calls Arthur over)
Hey! Over here! You can sit with us if you want. What’s your name?
(Arthur growls his name unintelligibly)
Did you say (tries to copy growl)?
Hi (offers hand to shake, pulls hand back as Arthur tries to bite him) Dude!
(To friends) He tried to eat my hand! He tried. To eat. My hand.
Maybe that’s just how they greet each other where he’s from.
Guys… guys… I think the new kid is a zombie.
Audition Excerpt 2:
(At home. Barely listening to your child as they tell you about their day.)
Parent:
That’s nice dear. Anything else interesting happen at school today?
You say there’s a new kid at school? What’s his name?
(Child mimics the inarticulate growl)
Now dear, just because he’s from another country,
doesn’t mean you should—
I don’t want you to make fun of him.
Maybe’s he’s just French.
I want you to make friends with him.
It’s hard to be the new kid.
Make an effort to be his friend, it won’t kill you.
