Audition sides

The self-tape audition sides are below for review. Full self-tape instructions will be posted here on 01/20/2026. Please note that the monologues provided may not correspond exactly to the character—or even the gender—you’re auditioning for. Each piece was selected to highlight qualities we’re looking for across multiple roles, such as emotional depth, storytelling ability, or presence. Choose the monologue that best showcases your strengths, regardless of character alignment.


  • If you're a younger female-identifying actor, consider:
    Emily's monologue – showcases emotional vulnerability and youthful intensity.
     
  • If you're a younger male-identifying actor, consider:
    Emily's monologue – yes, really! It helps us see the emotional openness we’re looking for in roles like George.
     
  • If you're interested in adult or parental roles, consider:
    Mrs. Gibbs’s monologue – reveals subtlety, warmth, and emotional depth.
     
  • If you're drawn to narrator or grounded ensemble roles, consider:
    Stage Manager (Act III) monologue – reflective, thoughtful, and emotionally resonant.
     
  • If you connect with darker or more emotionally complex characters, consider:
    Simon Stimson’s monologue – restrained but powerful, with a hint of bitterness.
