Please prepare a short song that showcases your singing voice along with the following monologue (as the character you’d love to be cast as). Memorization is encouraged but not required.

I would like – if I may – to take you on a strange journey. It seemed a fairly ordinary night when Brad Majors, and his fiancée Janet Weiss … (two young ordinary healthy kids) … left Denton that late November evening to visit a Dr. Evrett Scott ex tutor and now friend to both of them … Its true there were dark storm clouds, heavy – black and pendulous – towards which they were driving, its true also that the spare tire they were carrying was badly in need of some air – but they being normal kids and on a night out – well – they were not going to let a storm spoil the events of their evening. On a night out. It was a night out they were to remember for a very – long – time.
