At least 1 minute of Shakespeare to prove to me you understand what he is saying.  Sonnets are also welcomed. ...Be prepared for questions!!!!!

NOTE:  If you fail to bring me a Shakespearian monologue, then you will not be considered for an onstage role.

Callbacks will be pieces chosen by the director and some selections from the play for cold reading.
