I'm 23 and literally haven't done any real theater. Used to be in ensembles during summer camp bc i didn't gaf at the time but im considering it as an adult now. there are two auditions in my town next week for different groups and I think I wanna try but I'm super nervous. I need to prepare a monologue for one of them?

I did a ton of it years ago. It can be loads of fun, as long as you go in with reasonable expectations.

There's a lot to do, whether or not you get a part on stage. For example, many theaters need volunteers to help with sound, lighting, set design, etc. and are happy to train you to help.

And the part about reasonable expectations: all-volunteer organizations can have a wide variety of people - with a wide variety of skills. For example, every theater has at least one person in a high position who doesn't know what the fuck they're doing and who plays politics.

Focus on what you yourself are getting out of it, and how you can help others. If you do that, it's easier to do good work, learn things, and enjoy yourself.
