Auditions for Pipeline by Dominique Morisseau which will be performed in the Flex Theater, April 6-9, 2026. Please prepare a 60-90 second, contemporary dramatic monologue from a published play. We're happy to see auditions that don't fit these guidelines, but a contemporary dramatic piece would be most advantageous for the actor as the language style will most closely match the language in Pipeline. 

Please read the Pipeline script BEFORE you audition. Here's a copy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nSLrEUTFl92YdFLo-sMk-mpTLKRgxG8j/view?usp=sharing
