Sherwood:  The Adventures of Robin Hood is a story about fighting for what your conscience requires.   

The story begins with a young man who believes in nothing but a good time,  then comes face to face with the kind of greed and inhumanity that won’t let him sleep at night.  Suddenly he’s an outlaw hiding in Sherwood Forest where he joins up with a band of followers including Little John, Friar Tuck, and a  feisty adventuress, Maid Marian Fitzwalter, who steals his heart and won’t give it back.  

This classic story of courage is based on the English ballads of the 14th and 15th centuries and is filled, like its hero, with thrills, romance and a deep belief in social justice.

Be prepared! Led by Cheri Headrick, this workshop will offer information, advice, and coaching so performers can put their best foot forward at their next audition.

There are two registration levels – Observers and Participants.

Participants will learn how to prepare for an audition alongside the Observers, but will also have the opportunity to do mock auditions, receiving constructive feedback on how to improve their audition skills in a fun, safe environment.

Observers will learn how to prepare for an audition, and will be invited to witness and learn from the mock auditions of the Participants, including hearing feedback of those mock auditions.

We’ll be sending audition cut selections to everyone by email before the workshop. These cuts are the only ones you can use during the session.

Important Note: This workshop focuses on teaching general audition techniques that apply to a wide range of musicals. It’s not designed to help you prepare specific audition materials for an upcoming show.
