Video Audition (Self tape)
Please submit a video of you performing the skits below, portraying each of the different characters. Scripts are loose - you can change some of the words or phrases to add entertainment.
Script 1: Every generation as a forklift driver
Gen Z: Scrolling on their phone, laughs. Bet.
Millennial: I need coffee before I even look at a pallet.
Gen X: If everyone just did their job, we’d be done already.
Boomer: (to no one) Back in my day we loaded trucks by hand. These young guys don’t know what hard work is.
Gen Z: (takes out an airpod/earbud) What?
Millennial: The forklift is the only thing that listens to me.
Gen X: Who left this pallet jack in the middle of the aisle again?
Boomer: Doesn’t matter what the sign says, I know what I’m doing. (crash sound)
Script 2: When every generation sees a spill in the warehouse
Gen Z: Lowkey, that’s on them.
Millennial: Of course… why does this always happen when I’m nearby?
Gen X: I’m always the one cleaning up.
Boomer: Back in my day, this never would’ve happened… kids these days. Dale, come clean this up!
Gen Z: No cap, this is chaos.
Millennial: I don't get paid enough to do this!
Gen X: I’ll just do it, if you want something done right, do it yourself.
Boomer: Someone's gotta do it. That someone ain’t me. My back hurts.
Script 3 (Ad Lib – Improvised):
Create a 30–45 second short skit titled: "First Day as a Forklift Driver". You can play 1–3 characters, use props if you want, and feel free to be funny or dramatic. No provided script—just get creative and improvise!
