The Fearless Audition- For Actors and Singers of All Ages

If you want to conquer your next audition, this workshop is for you.  In this one-day class, we’ll be exploring techniques to help calm nerves before auditions and discussing how to prepare yourself to stand out in order to book that dream role! Finally, we will be doing mock auditions where you can practice presenting prepared materials and cold reads while receiving feedback from an established performer.  Students wishing to participate in mock auditions can come prepared with a song or one minute monologue.

This one-day workshop is appropriate for all ages of performers, but a maturity and dedication to the audition material is key.

In this hands-on class, we will be exploring the wonderful world of improvisation with games and exercises to get you thinking on your feet and outside of the box. We will be working together to create skits and characters (Think “Whose Line is it Anyway”) all while learning about theater. Come prepared to play, be creative, and laugh!

This class is recommended for ages 6-12.

Back by popular demand, Adult Scenes Study is an acting class for new and established actors who want to dig deep into character study and improve their stagecraft.  We’ll be performing scenes from plays and learning how to make bold choices and connect with our scene partners.

In this hands-on workshop, students of all ages will take their singing to the next level.  We’ll be exploring how to connect song lyrics and voice to make music that is emotionally expressive and moving.  Come prepared with a song of your choosing and printed lyrics- a bluetooth speaker will be provided for those wishing to bring an accompaniment recording.

This class is open to all ages, but students must be able to participate at a mature and respectful level.
