Bring a photo (if you have one), and a resume. Even if you don't have a resume already, get one ready before you attend the audition. At the very least, it has your contact information (address, phone #, e-mail address etc.)
Bring a book or magazine, in case you have to wait around. Nothing worse than hanging out in a room full of nervous about-to-audition actors. Something that keeps you relaxed would be a good thing.
As for what you should expect...they should have already told you what you need to have ready. Sometimes, they want to see prepared material (i.e., a monologue), and sometimes they'll give you a script when you arrive, and you'll do a "cold reading." Either way, warm yourself up, SMILE when you meet the folks behind the table, and give it your best shot.
Good luck!

If its musical theater prepare your self with a couple of songs that are appoirate for the show. If its a play be prepared with a monologe or be prepare to read lines. Bring a Resume and headshots only if needed.

Your headshot/ resume is very important to have. I also suggest that you have a short monologue memorized just in case you are put on the spot. Bring along a positive attitide along with your talent and you should be fine.
I hope you get the part!

definitly a headshot and resume, bring your best attitude, and don't be like everyone else. The more you stand out the better your chances are. Good Luck !

You might want to take a bottle of water, a resume and headshot, and something to read if it's a long wait.
