Bella Sappho for Ava Garcia
NOTE: ONLY READ THE BOLDED LINES IN THE AUDITION SCRIPT (A.K.A THE LINES FOR THE CHARACTER YOU'RE AUDITIONING FOR)
A short excerpt from AVA's character profile is as follows:
"AVA GARCIA is a new Freshman in the Theatre department and the main character of the show. She’s Hispanic, has brown curly hair and green eyes. She’s 14 years old and 5’0”. Eccentric and jovial, she’s defined by a bright red cape, which she wears at all times. Ava loves her friends, and would do anything for them. She’s a very loving and giving person, and always puts others first. However, she struggles socially. A mix of her cape and her father have prevented her from making bonds with many people, so she can be a little bit oblivious or inappropriate without meaning to be. Others can see her as immature or childlike at times because of her poor social skills."

[Optional: Improvise something you THINK she would say!]
AVA: "Oh my God" is right, Liam! It's what you'll be saying after witnessing the unexplainable magic of...THE AMAZING AVA!
LIAM: Magic isn't real.
AVA: Oh, Liam, my feeble-minded friend. I was much like you once. Blind to the ways of the world. But I have seen the light.
LIAM: Why do you sound like Ernie?
AVA: I am merely attempting to get you to see the light that I have seen, Liam. I will give you an example. (She fans out a deck of cards) Pick a card, any card!
SCOTT: Big Halloween fan?
AVA: Yup! It's my favorite holiday!
SCOTT: Really? You don't strike me as the type who would like Halloween.
AVA: It's the only day of the year people don't make fun of my cape. I feel like I fit in on Halloween.
SCOTT: (Touched) Awww, that's nice.
AVA: (Nonchalantly) Also, it's my birthday, too, so that helps. It's kind of like a double holiday!
