Those auditioning for the characters of Dr. Jekyll and/or Mr. Hyde are encouraged to prepare a monologue (dramatic, classical, or contemporary).

If you don’t prepare/bring your own monologue, there will be some available at auditions to read from.
About the show:
Dr. Henry Jekyll is a prominent and respected physician who believes in the theory that every man possesses a dual nature; one of good and one of evil. While delving into the obsession of his work, his friends take concern over his health and mental state. As it turns out, the evil side in Mr. Hyde ends up putting Dr. Jekyll in more trouble than he could ever imagine.
Note: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde contains Violence, Depictions of Self Harm, Use of Stage Weapons, Flashing or Strobing Lights
Actors 16+ will be considered. Actors under 18 will need permission forms signed.
