Sign-ins for auditions and sign-ups for production crew in all aspects are at the table in front of the stage; the director and another community arts program associate can be found there. After signing in, those auditioning for parts are invited to pick up and share one of pamphlets with selected scenes from the play itself:
Act I, Scene I: Where Gregory and Sampson fight with Abraham and Balthazar.Details and scheduling on props, costumes, setting pieces, and the rest are all a mess of discussions throughout the night; the director takes a few breaks for refreshments, leaving the auditorium and falls and the rest of the community center proper (along with the grounds around the community center) for people to practice before their time comes to be up on stage.
Act II, Scene II: The infamous balcony scene between Romeo and Juliet, from Romeo's "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?" to Juliet's "How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?"
Act III, Scene I: Where Mercutio and Tybalt fight, only for Romeo to interrupt and Tybalt to stab Mercutio under Romeo's arm. From Tybalt's, "Follow me close, for I will speak to them." to Mercutio's "Come, sir, your passado."
And a fourth, randomized scene that doesn't appear to be the same amoung all the pamphlets. The director will be keeping things rolling by tossing auditioners on stage and ushering seconds to read parts if people aren't presenting in pairs; the monologues he waves off, saying he's more interested in the dramatics of people's on stage chemistry than their ability to drone on to the audience alone.

Melody could look very scary when she wanted to!
Mercifully they're not to the main part of the audition, and Maya is just trying to practice her lines. Vigorously, she shakes her head and slaps the script.]
Um, sorry, sorry! My brain skipped a beat there, can we take it from the top again...?
[Time to sweat nervously.]
no subject
...You have been memorizing the script, yes?
no subject
Just, uh--
[You look really scary, Melody.]
...the jitters! That's all!
[She smiles.] Really, I'll be good.
no subject
[Melody looks anything but convinced. Her eyes narrow a little more, but then she simply sighs.]
You'll want to deal with that as quickly as possible. You don't want this to happen when you're on a stage. [She pauses, actually, giving Maya a curious look.] Have you ever performed before, in any way?
no subject
Right, right! Need to focus...
[She freezes at the question, and looks off... somewhere. Oh, those are nice rafters they have.]
Nnnnnnnnnnnnot exactly? I've always really admired people who can do it though, and I've tried out for a couple small things when I was younger on a whim, but just... because it was fun. I never got any parts...!
[She looks back to her, scratching the side of her head.] But this time is different! I've studied it, really! I was up late last night, even! I want to give it my best!
