The casting director is having a difficult time finding suitable actors to cast for the school's production of Romeo and Juliet. The first few auditions go poorly, with an overbearing acting coach, an angry male actor, and a diva-like female actor complaining about the theater acoustics. By the end, the frustrated casting director is considering asking Rodger and his friend to take part in the production instead of the unsuccessful actors who auditioned.

CD:​ No, you don’t even have to worry about it, you’re in good hands.

CD:​ of course Adam, I promise you everything will be cast by the end of the day

CD:​ I’m sorry will you hold on one second, you have to go? Yeah that’s fine, but I promise you
everything will be set and cast, this year's production of Romeo and Juliet will be the best it’s
ever been. Yup, alright, bye

Rodger: (looks up) I hope so (looks down)

CD: No, I told you to set up the tables and chairs for the auditions, and then see if anyone had
come yet

Rodger: oh yeah, they’re all here

CD: what, why I told you to tell then to come at 3:30, it’s only 2:30?

Rodger: yeah you said to be and and the actors to be here at 2:30, it’s something we should pin
for miscommunication.

CD: alright, just send in the first one

As you can see, our casting director has gotten herself into a little bit of a mess, but she doesn’t
know the auditions she about to see, i guess that’s why what I’ll be interpreting is called Bad
auditions by bad actors, by Ian Mcwethy.
CD: Can you please bring in the first one Rodger

Rodger: alright bet, I told them to come in one after the other

CD: and you can read the lines if necessary?

Rodger: yes

Coach: walk in nice and steady, and now go in for the handshake

Narissa: hello, my name is narissa, thank you for seeing me

Coach, a little rude but keep going

CD: I’m sorry, you are?

Coach: hi I’m her acting coach and I’m staying for moral support, but you won’t even notice me,
like a fly on the wall

CD: alright, go ahead then, you’re auditioning for the role of Juliet, correct?

Narissa: yes I memorized my monologue all week

Coach: a little conceited but that’s alright, just keep going narissa

Megra: hello I’m here for the auditions, but if you don’t mind might I do my warmups before we
start, I can’t do it without them
CD: I’ll let it happen just this once

Megra: *caws like a bird* * starts fake crying* *starts coughing*

CD: Rodger call 911, I think she’s having an asthma attack

Megra: *stops* oh no I’m fine, just my warm ups, also quick question, is this the theater in which
we will be preforming

CD: yes

Megra: these acoustics are unacceptable, these shabby curtains will drown out my constants, if
doesn’t even matter if I audition because of how bad it is, call me when upgrades are made

CD: send in the next one Rodger

Rodger: that was it

CD: that was it, what am I supposed to do now *phone rings* oh no. Hi Adam, did I cast it, well
no not yet, yes I know I was supposed to cast it today but if there was anyone half decent I
would have cast it *hold microphone*

Rodger: hey, can I go home now, my friend needs me

CD: actually Rodger how do you and your friend feel about Shakespeare
