Those auditioning must prepare:
 
1) A two-minute ³mini-performance² that includes both spoken text and a
creative use of objects. The text can come from a play, serious or comic,
but you can also use non-dramatic texts from poems, novels, non-fiction,
etc. The text can be from any time period and in any style. The object or
objects you use can be anything, from a wooden spoon to a bass trombone.
Look for interesting and creative ways you can integrate them with your text
and action‹the sky¹s the limit.
 
2) A one-minute song. You can sing the song a cappella, or if you play an
instrument, please accompany yourself on the instrument you play. You may
also be asked to read selections from the script and to improvise with other
members of your audition group.
 
Please be prepared to write down schedule conflicts so that a final
rehearsal schedule may be created.
