What to bring/prepare

Anyone seeking a Lead Role, should prepare a Shakespeare Monologue. 16 lines, not a full soliloquy. Since Twelfth Night is a comedy, a Comedic monologue is suggested, but not required. Prepared means memorized. (Please use your instructor resources if you need help
preparing!) Everyone should be prepared for cold readings of scenes. Please bring a water bottle. Wear clothing you can move in, including well fitting, closed-toe shoes. Bring your courage, physicality and curiosity. Be prepared to make big choices. Who can audition: Anyone. Students must be in good academic standing.
