*ACTING WORKSHOPS*

   - *PANIC! Auditioning and Interviewing for University Theatre Programs
   with Associate Professor Fabio Polanco: * So you want to major or minor
   in Theatre and the school wants you to prepare an audition or interview.
   Yikes! What do you do?  What do you prepare?  What do you need?  How do you
   present yourself in the best light so that you can communicate your
   potential to the schools that interest you?  How do you deal with nerves?
   In this workshop we will discuss and explore what makes a great audition
   and interview, what materials you need to be collecting and preparing and
   how to present them, how to craft a professional theatrical resume and what
   questions to ask THEM.  If you have a monologue or song you have been
   working on, bring it and have it professionally critiqued.
   - *Act Before You Think: The Values of A First Rate Actor with Assistant
   Professor Scott Hudson: * Maybe your parents taught you to think before
   you act? Now, let’s act before we think!*  *Explore the inspiring values
   of a first rate actor that give the beginning thespian a solid base from
   which to grow and develop his or her talent.  These values will come
   alive through the experience of group exercises and simple scene work.

*DESIGN WORKSHOPS*

   - *The Art of Theatre Offstage with Assistant Professor Jason Coale:* The
   creation of theatre requires many talented artists onstage and off.
   Whether it is the set, the costumes, the lights, the publicity poster or
   even the table displays for a fundraising gala, you'll always find an
   artist *behind* the scenes working hard to make things look great.  This
   workshop will address the process involved in the creation of some of these
   elements.  We will explore several techniques used to create, plan,
   communicate and execute exciting design ideas.
   - *Create Your Face: Character Design and Stage Makeup with Assistant
   Professor Sarah Russell:*  Rehearsals are moving along and your costume
   rocks! Now it's time to start thinking about how your character’s makeup
   should look, but where do you begin?! In this workshop, students will learn
   to make smart design choices while developing makeup for their character.
   Participants will learn to ask the right questions about their character,
   build off of solid research, make savvy makeup choices and learn to create
   a makeup schematic with reference photos for applying their makeup the
   right way, every time!
