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.

“Howdo Valley, Kentucky’s premiere music venue. Christmas Eve. 1949. Hateful ol’ E.B. Scrooge is preparing his dreary studio for a Christmas Day broadcast. While Mr. Autry’s singin’ Rudolph on every radio station from now till Christmas, E.B.’s goin’ on a tirade against anyone singin’ holiday cheer– that includes his niece Freddie and her band with the Cratchits! They’ve got themselves a festive new diddy, but Scrooge erupts at the thought of holiday hogwash on his show. As Freddie and the Cratchits resign themselves to E.B.’s ultimatum, their grouchy boss settles in for a solitary Christmas Eve. As night falls and the air turns cold, however, E.B. ‘s bitterness is challenged when Jay Marley, his long-dead friend and co-producer, returns from the grave with a trio of haints to save the miser from himself. A BLUEGRASS CHRISTMAS CAROL is a toe-tapping adaptation of Dickens’ festive classic that highlights the humanity in fiction’s most famous miser.”
