Auditions will be held September 12-13, 2018, with callbacks on Friday September 14th.
You will need to prepare a brief Shakespearean monologue, either of your choosing or from one of the selections listed below. You may also choose another selection from A Midsummer Night's Dream, or from any of Shakespeare's other plays. It should be roughly 1 minute to 90 seconds in length. Please avoid very long selections.
