Actors Studio Audition Scene Help

[Ckrause89]

Hello All!

I have an audition with The Actors Studio in May. For their audition, they actually let you bring a partner and perform a five minute scene. I've been having a bit of trouble trying to find a good scene. The partner I want to take is a former professor and mentor of mine. She's a woman in her mid-40's, and I'm trying to find a good scene that would fit both of our types. To give you an idea of my type, I'm 24, in good shape, and previous roles I've played are D'Artagnan in the Three Musketeers, Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, and Todd in The Author's Voice. I've been reading a lot of plays with Mother/Son dynamics, but I haven't found a really good meaty scene yet (also one that has to feature me a bit more prominently since I'm the one auditioning.)

I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions/ideas for scenes that would work. It doesn't necessarily have to be a mother/son dynamic either. Just something that would fit both of our types. Thanks for your help!
