    Does anyone have audition sides for "Who Walks in the Dark", the Tim Kelly play?  If not, how do you choose which parts of the script to use for <g class="gr_ gr_149 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="149" data-gr-id="149">audtions</g>?

    I haven't read this play, but I can provide some general advice about choosing sides. I would choose the scenes that stood out as you read the script, the ones you remember the most, that inspired some kind of emotional reaction. Choose scenes where a character transitions or makes a discovery so you can see how the actor handles it. Think about what you need to know about an actor in order to cast a role and find a scene that will make it easier to choose that person. For example, if they need to be able to deliver a punchline and demonstrate a sense of comedic timing, find a section of the play where that opportunity exists. If two characters need to have a romantic connection, find a scene where this relationship starts to develop. Hope this helps!
