Acing the Audition
"Be prepared, be you, and come ready to play" were a few of the takeaways from the Acing the Auditon workshop with Jamie Dunsdon! Taking place on Monday, October 2, 2023 at the beautiful Doug Barnes Cabin, participants learned about how and what to prepare, how to approach a cold read, how to pick a monologue, and what to do when you're directed in an audition.
Thank you so much to Jamie for sharing her dazzling energy and years of audition experience with us, and to all the participants who brought curiosity, enthusiasm, and the bravery to play!
