Fall Break - LC Audition Workshop
Audition Workshop
Auditions can be nerve-wracking. Let’s make them a whole lot less scary. 🎬✨
This Fall Break workshop is for our older Characters who want to deepen their acting skills and walk into their next audition feeling a little more prepared and a LOT more confident. Our hope is to include students that may be auditioning at another school or theater company!
We’ll play some games to shake out the nerves, talk about what makes an audition work, and then students will get a chance to perform a prepared monologue, receive coaching, make new choices, and try it again.
🎭 Friday, October 16
⏰ 11 AM–2 PM
⭐ Ages 10+
💵 $35
Hope to see you there!
