Cheers!
I just received some information regarding an audition I'm attending for an Acting program I've applied to at College. In it reads: "Do memorize thoroughly and act two contrasting (serious-funny) speeches from a contemporary play, screen play or teleplay." What are the differences between a speech from a contemporary play, screen play and teleplay? Is that a speech from a contemporary play is just that, and a screen play refers to a script for a motion picture and a teleplay is a script for a television show?
Furthermore I read that a "screenplay differs from a script in that it is more specifically targeted at the visual, narrative arts, such as film and television, whereas a script can involve a blueprint of "what happens" in a comic, an advertisement, a theatrical play and other "blueprinted" creations." Can someone please explain that to me (dumb it down *G*)? Thanks.

Do you all suggest that I deliver a monologue from a play as opposed to a tele play or screen play? FYI: The program I'm applying for is Acting for Film & TV.

A screenplay is a film script, a teleplay is a television script, and a theatrical play or "play" is for live theater. This is a good thing! You have a wider variety of which to choose.. There are monologues in all of these formats. But honestly, I would look mostly in theatrical scripts. They are usually of a higher quality, and more difficult to perform... Making you look better.

In a screen play the visual should carry the plot. Therefore, the dialogue does not have to carry as much information. In a theatre play the dialogue must carry both plot and existence of that which cannot be practically shown on stage.
Many of the screen and television plays are adapted from plays and have packed dialogue, but a theatre play carries much more to choose from overall. I am quite surprised radio scripts are not mentioned for they must carry most of radio theatre by the single medium of sound.
The transcript of the radio reporter's description of the crash of Hindenburg Zeppelin can make for a stunning monologue.

Do a seek on the thank you to format a narrative right into a demonstrate play.

a play is where you acted every thing out and it's a long fun thing like a broadway show or something like that

Gracious sakes, I have NO idea what they're talking about in that second part, there! Huh?! No wonder you're confused!
However, I can confirm that you nailed the definitions in the first part of your question--they are all correct. :)
