Adult Auditions:
Video record a 2 minute memorized monologue. For each monologue, begin your performance by slating your first and last name, pronouns, the play from which you are performing and then character you are performing.
Film at a medium shot—about waist/belly button up to a few inches above your head (but please allow yourself to move around/play within that frame). You need to be on your feet for the monologues.
