In a German law binding certificate I lost some time ago, my last name is written down as 'Montague'. I've spent a hefty portion of my life being snickered at for this, most specifically on the first days of class when teachers proceed with the role call.

Out of spite, I have never seen, watched, or read 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Being a performer, currently involved in collegiate theatre, I've always said that I'd never read or see the play until I was cast in the show itself. -- The time has come. Auditions are right around the bend. - And i've come here to ask for your opinions- What part should I strive for if I want an interesting (in the 'kooky' sense) character, and preferably meddlesome? --

and what shakespeare monologue would be best to audition with if I were interested in trying out for the part of Romeo? - I already have an 'Iago' piece memorized. But I have a younger look to me and feel as if they may only be interested in me as Romeo-- or other young roles? if there are any..

Thank you for your time.

Well, first of all, Tybalt and Mercutio are the more "kooky" roles. Fun and sword fighting, how can you beat that?

As for auditions, look at one by Demetrius in "Midsummer". I think that would fit nicely.
