  1. Prepare a 45–60 second monologue (contemporary preferred).
  2. You may be asked to re-perform the monologue with additional direction or participate in cold readings from the script.
  3. Callbacks will involve scene work from the show and ensemble-based activities.

If cast, you are expected to attend all rehearsals for which you are scheduled and may be required to attend costume appointments and other relevant meetings outside of the published rehearsal schedule.
