This one day retreat will feature workshops in:

Children's Audition Prep – Instructors from Boston Children’s Theatre will lead clinics in audition prep for children (ages 9-12).

The Audition Prep Seminar - actors, directors, and artistic directors will participate in a moderated discussion on how to prepare for an audition.

While most classes will be lead as seminars we encourage all participants to prepare a short monologue (2 minutes) and if interested 10-12 lines of your favorite Shakespeare verse (not prose).  Time permitting we may be able to have some participants work on material in class.
Between 12:20PM and 1:40 PM we will hold The Audition Prep Seminar - actors, directors, and artistic directors will participate in a moderated discussion on how to prepare for an audition.  What directors and artistic directors are looking for, how an actor might go about preparing, mistakes to avoid, and good ideas and practices to incorporate into one's auditioning tool belt for example, how to dress/present yourself, how to walk into an audition room with confidence, the benefits of  changing up your monologue.
Do you offer services that are valuable to actors?  Are you an acting coaches, intructors, accompanists, photographers, or make-up artists?  If you're looking for a way to introduce yourself to the Boston Theatre Community we encourage you to participate in the Go Audition! Vendor Fair.
