Please prepare a one-minute monologue that demonstrates a familiarity with any stylized vocal rhythm (it can be a monologue, a poem, rap, Shakespeare piece, etc).

Roles:

1. Him (male)

2. Her (female)

Any and all character types are encouraged to audition. This will be the American premiere of this play, and the second production ever, so there are no traditional ways of casting this piece. Let’s find our own style!
