Hey all! So I am directing a play soon (Dog Sees God) and am getting ready to hold auditions and callbacks. My question is this: Should I choose scenes that comes early in the play so that the actors can get into them easily? OR Should I choose the really meaty scenes that come later in the play? |

Choose scenes that the actors can sink their teeth into. You can make available a one-sentence description of each character to help provide context.  Good luck.
