AUDITION PROCESS:

Your audition is two minutes in length starting at the beginning of your monologue. Please present a piece that meets the requirements below. We WILL call “time” if you go beyond requirement, so please plan accordingly. 

The room setup will be in the arrangement from The Nightmare Story. Casting teams will be seated along the far wall of the dressing room facing audience seating. An “X” will be marked  in the middle of the room for auditionees to start their audition. Enter the stage through the aisle nearest the Pipe Dreams entrance (SL) and exit through the opposite side aisle (SR). House lights will be up and stage lights near 75%. A chair will be available at request. 

MONOLOGUE:

Actors should prepare a 1-2 minute dramatic monologue exploring the tension of self-expression and societal constraints, echoing the central struggles reflected through The Verge. This material should navigate the following themes: Societal expectations, Passion/Individualism, Complexity/Vulnerability, Rebellion/Frustration, and Longing for Freedom.

To highlight the importance of female voices in the theatrical canon and align with the source material, it is strongly suggested to present a monologue written by a female-identifying playwright.
