I was notified of a local theater production hosting a staged reading and I wanted to audition. The auditions aren’t for another few weeks, but as part of the audition, I need to sing 32 bars of a modern musical song and then give a conflicting one minute monologue. I can handle the monologue, but what the hell is a bar?

In music, there is a time signature, which is the two numbers, one over another. This indicates the number of notes in a “set”. These sets are sort of like sentences in writing, and are called ‘bars’. They are usually indicated by a vertical line. “32 bars” in this case means the amount of a song you are asked to sing, based on the sheet music for that song.
