I’ve seen that advice too (not to do things you were directed in), but they did ask S at Ithaca if he had anything from a play he’d done his freshman year. He didn’t–although he was able to make a remark that showed he knew the play and part well–and then he did something else instead. He does have a Shakespeare monologue in his repertoire that dates back to 7th grade…

My favorite story about this kind of request is on the thread about audition “horror stories”–someone reported being asked to do a monologue from “The Miracle Worker”–the girl had played Helen Keller. So yes, it might be an unreasonable request… Anyway, be ready for anything!
