HOW TO AUDITION FOR MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP
To assist performers in the audition process, David Armstrong, Executive Producer and Artistic Director, will lead the workshop on Monday, March 29 7pm-10pm at 5th Avenue Theatre’s rehearsal space (1326 5th Avenue, downtown – Skinner Building). The three-hour workshop will focus on the ten things actors especially need to know for effective musical theatre auditions in New York City, Los Angeles or Seattle. The workshop is designed for all levels of professional performers. The workshop is a suggested $15 donation, and all proceeds will benefit The 5th Avenue Theatre’s Educational Programs. Drop-ins welcome.
