Break A Leg Series: Musical Theatre Audition Workshop

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.
