Please sign up for one spot (see links above) and plan to be there for the full hour (so arrive ten minutes before the beginning of the hour!)
Audition pieces are welcome: a short speech from Shakespeare is ideal (10 lines). It does not need to be memorized.
If you sing, feel free to prepare a brief piece of song to sing a ca****la, as there is a little singing in the play.
