This will be a three-part workshop.  The first part will focus on audition tips, etiquette, and strategies as they relate to both general auditions and college auditions.  The second part will be a "mock audition" where some participants will give an audition and we will discuss and analyze the presentation.  The third part will be a typical master class format consisting of both monologues and music theatre selections.  A pianist will be provided.  Please bring a song and/or monologue of your choice.

Spread the word to anyone you think might be interested in attending!  This will be an enlightening theatre workshop and will take place in a beautiful venue- the new Dobama Theater space!
