Senior Dinner Speech 2023

Speeches & Auditions

Auditions for Senior Dinner/Graduation Acts

Auditions will happen in the chorus room in the basement of Oakdale Hall on March 17 & 18.

Students should prepare an act that is no more than 5 minutes long and be prepared to perform that act in its entirety at a near-performance level.  Start now in your preparation.  We hope to find a variety of meaningful, funny, serious, daring, thought-provoking performances that showcase the multifaceted class of 2025.

Please submit your information via this form before March 7.

Audition Form

Scott and Katie will be in touch with details after you fill the form.

Senior Dinner Speech

There will be a few speeches given at the Senior Dinner. Besides the Head of School, one parent, one faculty member, and one senior will speak. If you would like to be considered, submit a complete draft. We will help polish and refine speeches until they are stage ready. Submitted speeches should be about 10 minutes in length.

There are a wide range of possible directions one can go with a speech. Avoiding issues of world peace and the challenges facing us in the 21st century would be a good start. Some of the prompts suggested for vignettes could be directions for a speech. Variations on college essays have been compelling. Humor is good but the whole thing need not be funny.

Senior dinner speech submissions: April 1 email to Stacey.
