THEATRE

The theatre is run as a program; however, auditions are hosted to cast the roles in each production. Those cast within the production must pay a program fee.

Theatre Audition Workshop
Build confidence, spark inspiration, and take the fear out of auditioning. An audition is simply another opportunity to perform! Learn not only by participating, but also by watching and supporting your fellow performers.
What you’ll learn and practice…
- First Class: Audition etiquette and preparation. Each participant will be coached on one song they select and prepare in advance.
- Second Class: Callbacks-what they mean and how to prepare. Participants will receive coaching on two prepared songs and learn how to adjust and improve for callbacks.
- Third Class: Scene and monologue work. Instructor-selected material. A unique song will be assigned by the instructor for each participant to prepare for the final class.
- Final Class: End the workshop with an open question-and-answer
What to Bring: All performers must provide their own music—preferably printed—and digital accompaniment (pre-recorded track, YouTube accompaniment, etc.).
