NOTE: Send in a self-tape. No need to memorize the script, feel free to read directly from the sides. Also, there is a scene in the play that includes a brief song between the main characters, so having singing ability is a plus.
Sides are attached to this casting listing. Again, it's not necessary to memorize this script when making your self tape. The audition script is a bit long because of the story twist that occurs, so we really just want to see how you handle the twist.
