Audition Requirements

The following will take place with guidance on the day of audition:

• Performance of a memorized dramatic or comedic monologue from a published play (1-minute maximum); cold read; improvisation. Applicants will introduce the monologue by stating the name of the play, the name of the playwright, and the name of the character. The introduction will not count toward the 1-minute maximum allotted time.
• Applicants should not use costumes. Minimal props may be used for the monologue, but only if they do not distract from the quality of the performance.
