Audition Workshops
The Academy of Theatre Arts is pleased to be able to offer free Audition Workshops for each production of the season. Audition workshops are led by the production's artistic team, using the same materials that will be used at the audition. Time is built into the workshop for participants to receive personalized tips and feedback. Registration will open about two months prior to each workshop. Before registration opens, dates may change based upon staff availability.
Workshops and Auditions are separate registrations. Audition information may be found here.
