This class aims to prepare students for auditions at all levels of theatre. The primary focus of the class is the exploration of an audition piece of the student’s choice: either a 60-90 second monologue or a 16-32 bar cut of a musical theatre song.
These pieces will be chosen by the students based on an audition brief given in the first week of classes. We will explore the storytelling of the pieces: what the character wants and how they aim to get it. These pieces will be shared with the community on a final “sharing” day. Additionally, this class will provide students with information about resume format, headshots, and even self-promotion in order to give them the tools they need to succeed in any future auditions.

Thanks-Killing invites you to an idyllic holiday gathering that spirals out of control. As the air fills with the aroma of roasted turkey, pumpkin spice lattes, and the joy of a family uniting, the Smothers family comes together for their annual Thanksgiving dinner. However, beneath the surface of warm smiles and nostalgic tales, old grudges simmer, and dark secrets surface leading to. . . MURDER!
You are drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue as they join the family members in uncovering the truth. Who could have committed such a heinous act? Was it the resentful cousin who felt overlooked? The ambitious sister with a long-standing rivalry? Or perhaps the seemingly sweet grandmother with a hidden agenda? And when will the cranberry sauce be ready? As the characters navigate a maze of deceit, their alliances shift, and motives are unveiled.
With interactive and immersive elements, guests can interrogate suspects, piece together clues, and ultimately decide who among the family is the true killer. Join us for a night where the bonds of family are tested, and trust is as fragile as a Thanksgiving turkey!
