Auditions are open to all students, and you only need to attend one audition slot to be
considered for a part. You also don’t need to have anything prepared in advance as auditions
are comprised mostly of cold readings and scripts will be provided. However, if you are
planning to audition for Othello, it is recommended that you prepare a one minute
Shakespearean monologue to perform at the audition.
