Workshop 1 = “I Hope I get It” – Auditioning Techniques................October 4, 6:00pm-9:00pm

Have you ever said, “I would love to audition for a play, but I don’t think I have what it takes”? Have you ever auditioned for a play and didn’t get the part? Then this workshop is for you. Steve will focus on the steps of the audition process. Whether you are a frequent audition attendee or a complete novice, this three-hour class can improve your chances at getting the part…or at least calm those butterflies before each audition. Special Guest: A special guest director from the 2010-11 season will share what he/she looks for from actors at auditions. Here’s your chance to be “in the know”.

Workshop 2 = “Fine Tune Your Instrument” – Voice & MovementOctober 18, 6:00pm-9:00pm

Have you been bitten by “the bug”? Or maybe it’s just been buzzing around you for a while. Either way, you’ll want to attend this three-hour workshop. Through the use of simple theater games, physical and vocal warm-ups, role-playing, and short scenes, we will explore the art of acting in a safe, supportive environment.

Workshop 3 = “Now What Do I Do?” – Improv for Actors...........November 1, 6:00pm-9:00pm

In this fun-filled three-hour workshop, Steve will teach participants how to be positive, listen to others, take risks and work within a team environment. Participants will learn improv games and be encouraged to use their imaginations as they begin to develop characters, build scenes and invent ideas without using props or costumes.
