AGES 13–17
Master Class: Audition Preparation (#10096)
The art of auditioning is not a natural born talent. No matter how talented you are, you need to be able to audition well in order to get the role you desire. Auditions are meant to show off your talent, especially if you are a teen seeking a role in this summer’s production of The Boy Friend. These classes will entail bringing some audition materials to the class and having the director look them over and give you pointers from there. The following week, bring your prepared audition to perform for the director and hear feedback before the actual auditions.
(NOTE: No pre-casting will be done for The Boy Friend.)Instructor: Christine Karki
