In theatre-speak, a "side" is a kind of partial script: unlike a full script which contains every line, sides only have the lines for a single part, along with the cues.

Sides are a major pain in the rump for actors for a lot of reasons: sides don't really give you a good feeling for where your part fits in the overall play, and there's often no indication how much time elapses between lines ... you might deliver a line and get your next cue line back immediately, or there could be ten minutes of other people's dialogue in between.

If you're auditioning with them, the director may feed you the cue lines directly one after the other, or you may be part of an ensemble where you'll have to listen carefully (and hope your fellow auditioners don't paraphrase).
