2025 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.

I’m giving them a little preview of the college curriculum. I find that when they go to college as freshman and sophomores, they get cast more often.
