The “Nuts and Bolts” of Auditioning for the Stage (ages 8-16)

This is designed for any child who is beginning to explore theater arts. Even if they have done some acting before, this is a “no-holds-barred, hardhat, roll up your sleeves, tell it like it is approach”. Remember that getting a role is never easy, and there are no guarantees, but this class will make your child more confident, relaxed and prepared for any audition. In addition to instruction and guidance, the class will get a chance to work on stage, which will make them feel like ‘theater veteran’ in no time, build confidence, and add additional polish.
