Video Submissions for an Audition

I'm considering applying for a professional summer theatre (in order to be considered for auditions), and its website says this:

To be considered for an audition, please mail a picture and resume to this address. Video submissions accepted.

What kind of video does it mean? Should I send a tape of a show I've performed in, or film myself singing/reciting/performing something?

I'm never done anything beyond community/school productions, so I'm not at all sure how to go about this. I'm in highschool, and my "credentials" involve over a dozen shows from a brother in the ALW Joseph, to Jack Worthing in the Importance of Being Earnest. I've never constructed a resume, but would you think it would be best to send in a video submition, or just the resume? I'd love to hear some opinions or advice. Thank you!

normally for videos for musical theatre related things they ask for 2 songs and 1 monologue and an optional dance showing your abilities. sometimes they ask for 2 monologues and 2 songs, but depends.

you need to call the theatre and ask them.

that's the only way to be sure you're getting it right.
