The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
& Mr. Hyde

Murder, mystery, madness...this science fiction thriller has it all. This is an excerpt from the show's author, Noah Smith:

"I wanted to create as much 'what's gonna happen next?' anxiety for the audience as I could - considering that they all probably knew how it was going to end...while also making it ultimately a character study of people whose thirst for knowledge and adventure pushes them too far."

The show's setting is London, 1888.

For this audition, please select a monologue from the document below.

Each character can be cast as either a male or a female, and each role is so important and dynamic. The Maid and the Butler are, in many ways, the driving force of the show. They play an extremely difficult role and will require a great deal of flexibility and exploration. And of course, our Jekyll/Hyde will require some intense character work. 

Truly, every role matters and is vital to this story.
