Passing an audition?

[Moonliner]

Now this came out of left field...

My newly minted teenager just came home and informed me that he wants to try out for the school play, a mid summers night dream.

Anyone have any hints on how to nail an shakespeare audition? What's the process like, what might he be asked to do, how much do I need to pay and to whom?

As you can see drama was never really my thing, so I'm a bit clueless here...
