    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

    CD:​ Rodger!

    Rodger:​ yeah

    CD: ​what are you doing

    Rodger: I’m texting my friend, I’m supposed to help her tonight

    CD: well is that what your supposed to be doing?

    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

    CD: alright whenever your ready

    Narissa: Romeo Romero, where for art thou Romeo

    Coach: remember narissa, your constants

    Narissa: RoMEO RoMEO, whERE for art thOU RoMEO

    Coach: remember for projection

    Narissa: ROMEO ROMEO WHERE FOR ART THOU ROMEO, DENY THY FATHER AND
    REFUSE THY NAME

    CD: alright I think we got enough of what we needed, thank you for coming

    Coach: did she do a good job

    CD: not with you here, bye


    Coach: alright Rodger, send the next one in

    Joe: hey, I’m Joe Romano, and I’m here for whatever they’re reading outside

    CD: the audition?

    Joe: yeah, let’s start

    CD: alright, well Rodger will be reading with you

    Joe: a guy? Wouldn’t wanna be him

    CD: let’s just start

    CD: I’m sorry, but why are you so angry, the scene is about love and passion, not anger

    Joe: yeah, it’s like, I love you so much I WANNA HIT THE WALL

    CD: yeah, I think we got everything we need, thank you for coming

    Joe: yeah I’ll be back tomorrow for the rehearsal

    CD: yeah, but before you come back, might I suggest therapy, bye, send in the next one Rodger

    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
