I have a possible audition on tuesday the 13th. It asks for young male actors ages 9-15 for the audition, and I am 16. How strict are age cutoffs, is it even worth my time to go? Also, they ask me to prepare a two minute comic monolugue (I have that don't worry) but they then say in the next sentence "Cold Reading." What does that mean? A cold reading of my monologue or off of the script? I thought I would have my monologue prepared and memorized. Please give me any help, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for your help everyone. I really appreciate it and I'm going to go for it. I just have a few more questions:
1) I need to make an appointment for my audition which requires me calling and leaving my name, age, and phone number. Should I just not say my age in case they decide to knock me off without seeing me, or should I say my age but that I look younger than 15 (I really do.) I just don't want to be dropped before I even get a chance.
2) Bean, you said "they want to see what you can do with the chance to practice and make the choices in a scriot beforehand", but because they do not want the plays of their next season to be publicly known yet, they did not tell us what it is so I cannot be well read, and neither really can anyone else. Is there anything else I can do in this situation to get a leg-up on the competition?
3) Stagerage2004, you said that "it is illegal for them to actually ask how old you are." Not that I don't trust you but, everyone else, is this true?
