College Theatre Programs: Audition Preparation Seminar & Workshop

College Theatre Programs: Audition Preparation with Professor Ann Evans Watson, University of Michigan Musical Theatre

Are you interested in pursuing Musical Theatre or Acting at the collegiate level? Join us for a free seminar and workshop to explore:

•             How to target and research universities and colleges
•             The application process
•             How to prepare for your audition
•             Then what?

Students will have an opportunity to explore the audition process, and parents will have the opportunity to ask questions and see some student auditions first-hand. Bring yourself, sheet music (for any student who wishes to have the chance to participate in a “mock” audition), and all your questions about how to audition for college musical theatre programs.
