Please arrive promptly at the start time of the audition.  You will complete the audition forms and the team will photograph you.  After all of the forms are collected, actors will be selected for various roles and given scripts of excerpts (sides) of the play that they will familiarize themselves with out in the hall.  The group will then perform the scene for the director.  Actors will be assigned various roles and will be switched up in different groups to perform different bits of the play.
