Dionysus is assisting with auditions, but he's definitely going to still audition anyway. An optimistic view of this is that he doesn't even consider himself above an audition. A more pessimistic view might point out he could still cast himself anyway, maybe he's just bored.
Regardless, he has chosen to don more modern clothes today -- trousers, a loose fitting tshirt, and an even looser fitting button up shirt over top of that one. "Hello," he says, as if he hasn't ever seen these two women before in his life, "I am Dionysus, god of Drama, and noted friend of Dorothy." He's reasonably convinced Nina will have no clue what that means, and he's honestly not sure if Susan will either; he can't remember when the phrase first started being used, but to be fair the joke is more for himself than anyone else anyway. "I will be auditioning for the role of the Cowardly Lion. Or, well, literally anyone. You both know that already."
He places a headshot and resume on their table. Again, completely unnecessary, he just felt like it. The resume is truly just as ridiculous as you'd expect coming from the guy theatre was invented for, covering a bizarre collection of professional and community theatre roles over the span of a few thousand years (to be fair, he DID abridge it down to just his favorites, but even still, the font is pretty small on the paper). The "headshot" is actually just a photo of some statue of Bacchus he ripped out of a book from the library. Looks nothing like him. It still counts.
For his monologue, he performs one of Jack's from The Importance of Being Earnest. Normally when speaking English, he sounds, for whatever reason, a bit like how you'd expect someone from New Jersey to speak. For the monologue he slips effortlessly into a perfectly posh British accent. His comedic timing is pretty spot on, and he moves around just the correct amount -- enough to command the space, but not so much as to be a distraction. It's a fairly similar story with his cold read. He's also off book somehow already for that. Hey, nobody said he didn't have a built in set of advantages for this process.
For his talent he sings If I Were The King of the Forest, and it's good. Not as great as his acting, but he's not the god of Music, okay, give him a break. Sheesh.
