It's interesting that so many puppeteers have used puppets to present 
classic drama.  Our sensei, Paul Vincent-Davis has been doing Shaekspeare 
scenes with puppets for years now, and is working on a new show GW.  But 
also consider Preston Foerder's several one-man often "one puppet at a time" 
  original shows, like "Works in Regress"   A direct contact figure and 
almost any well-paced monolgue could function as an audition piece.   It 
might be more interesting to do a duologue where the puppet played on part 
and the performer played the other.  First question, should one part or the 
other be dominant?  Then, how do you distinguish such a scene from a 
venriloquist act?  QWould it be better to have two puppets, and keep the 
performer out of the scene, at least ubtil the end?
Good Luck
