 Burbage snapped her fingers, and a small blackboard appeared behind her with the definition of an audition written in white chalk. "Now, an audition is the opportunity for a person to act out a small scene as to give a taste of the performance if he or she were selected for that role. I will give everyone ten minutes to think of the role they wish to play and select a passage from the story to recite. They will perform this short passage, and then myself and my stage director will vote on who performed it best. By the end of the period, if we all remain focused, we will have our assigned roles for the production!"
