Learn from a professional in the theater business! This workshop will consist of some acting warm-up/ensemble building exercises, then a Q&A session about working in professional theater, a mock cold-reading audition (where everyone takes a turn cold reading with the instructor, while being directed) finishing with everyone being coached on a prepared monologue. This is a great workshop to prepare you for future auditions. Materials needed: Please bring a prepared monologue to be coached.
