NB: Script samples on the left are provided only to give an idea of
the projects and roles available. At the audition, individual directors
will provide you with very short script samples specific to their own
project. No memorization is necessary, and you will be given ample time
to prepare. Actors will only be required to give one screen test, on the
basis of which the directors will be making their casting decisions. This
format is provided as a service to both the actors and the directors in
an effort to conserve time.
