Auditions for our summer season - A Midsummer Night's Dream

What to Prepare:
Please prepare a comedic Shakespeare monologue under 3 minutes in length.

Synopsis:
A Midsummer Night's Dream tells the story of four lovers who each want someone who they can't have. The play includes two rulers from different worlds looking forward to their honeymoons; a group of clumsy actors, trying to put on a "tragic" play for their Duke's upcoming wedding and the marital quarrels of two omnipotent beings, who's conflicts wreak havoc on the weather and those around them. All of this craziness is tied together by a mischievous imp. In one crazy night in the woods, Shakespeare teaches the audience about love, breakups, sex, marriage, death, life, fairies, some odd plants and a donkey. odd
