WAITRESS AUDITION SCENE:
You’re a server at a diner, speaking to one of your customers. You’re excited about the new hot gossip that you have to share.
Waitress: “Psst, we’re going green”
DAVE AUDITION SCENE:
You’re mini-golfing with your family and throughout the script you’re focused entirely on making your putt. You don’t look away while delivering your lines.
Dave (grandpa): So, I heard from Gene...Our state’s going green.
Dean (grandson): By green you mean....
Dave (grandpa): Using the wind to help make our electricity clean. You putt, Dean.
Dean strikes the ball, we see it shoot through a kitschy windmill and sink the putt. Onlookers from nearby holes clap and cheer.
COLLEEN (HAIRDRESSER) AUDITION SCENE:
You are a hairdresser working on one of your regular clients, chatting about how Washington state is using clean energy as if its the new hot gossip. We come in mid conversation.

Colleen turns their client around to reveal their new bright green hair, the client gasps because they love it.
POOL MAN 1 AND POOL MAN 2 AUDITION: You can either pick one role to audition for, or submit reads for both charecters.
Pool Man 1 is regular at the local billiards watering hole who’s well read & always up on the latest news and policies—once in a while loves to unwind after work over a game of pool with his pals. You’re chalking a pool stick chatting with Pool Man 2 in a pool hall about Washington state using clean energy. We come in mid conversation.
Pool Man 2 is lining up a shot while talking to PM1 at the pool hall. PM1 is telling PM# about Washington state using clean energy and PM2 doesn't really know much about it. We come in mid conversation.

- You see someone at a distance who looks familiar, then you realize who it is and you are so excited to see them. Your excitement fades to confusion as they say something really strange to you. Then you realize they actually paid you a really thoughtful compliment, and you are feeling flattered with a playful spark of energy.
- Someone told you a bit of news that intrigues and/or pleases you.
- You pull your sunglasses down over your nose to get a better look at something that brings you surprise and delight.
- Take in a big breath of fresh air and let out a refreshing sigh.
