Do NOT submit if you are not willing to have the video posted! Having your video posted does NOT guarantee that you will be cast. Please state your name at the start of each video.

1. What draws you to participate in a theatrical experience where you will not see the script until you perform it?

2. What excites you most about walking onstage with almost no preparation?

3. What made you say yes to auditioning for a project you know almost nothing about?

4. What aspects of performing without rehearsal or direction make you most nervous?

5. Describe a time when you had to trust your instincts completely. How did it turn out?

6. How do you handle vulnerability in front of an audience when you cannot predict what will happen next?

7. What do you hope to learn about yourself as an artist by doing this piece?

8. How do you imagine connecting with the audience while discovering the play together?

9. How would you describe your approach to trust—trusting the playwright, the producers, and the unknown?

10. After the curtain falls, what makes the performance feel successful for you personally?

11. If cast, you must sign an NDA agreeing not to discuss the script or performance events with other actors or on social media after your performance for the length of the run of the show. Are you comfortable maintaining this secrecy?

12. Are you able to commit to not reading any copies of the script or watching any performances (in person or online), and can you honestly state that you have not done so already?
