You will need to fill-out a quick form and confirm that you have received the covid-19 vaccine. You will need to present a 1-minute Shakespearean monologue. If you are invited for callbacks, you will be notified that evening. At callbacks the following morning, auditioners will be split up into groups and perform a quick "jig" incorporating some elements of Original Practice. Following that, you will be asked to present your 1-minute monologue to the group. You will then be asked to perform the monologue again following "what if" prompts from the Grassroots producers and your fellow auditioners-- Likewise, you will be asked to provide "what ifs" to your fellow auditioners.
Grassroots often (but not always) casts shows collaboratively. This means that the people who audition will vote for who they think should be in the cast.

Additionally, Grassroots often opens a new production with an unrehearsed show. These are some of our most popular shows. You will be given a few weeks to memorize, and then you will be thrown out in front of an audience to make the most of it!
