Demo Reel Guidelines:

Very Simple: Using the synopsis above and your own dialogue, stage a simple series of scenes in
                          skit format illustrating how you would portray either of the characters in such a situation.
                          Most actors can envisage a number of ways in which to play either a character or scenario.
                          You may include a number of variations on the scenes providing each is unique and not
                          simply repetitive.  You may use the scenes from a previous production below as a basic
                          guideline, but be original.
