Ginny's casting on modern drama includes premieres of American and European plays (including recently THE FATHER and THE MOTHER by Florian Zeller, THE MENTOR by Daniel Kehlmann, IN THE NEXT ROOM by Sarah Ruhl, INTIMATE APPAREL by Lynn Nottage, THE OPEN HOUSE by Will Eno and THE BIG MEAL by Dan le Franc) as well as work from British writers such as Alexi Kaye Campbell, Rona Munro, Richard Bean, Simon Reade, Joe Penhall, Lizzie Nunnery and Laura Wade.

In this online workshop, Ginny would like you to prepare a monologue which you will perform to her in an online workshop via Zoom. She will then offer her feedback during the session and general advice about auditioning. You will be able to watch others monologues and hear their feedback.

Pieces should be around a minute and a half, two minutes max.
