MASTER CLASSES

These classes will offer an opportunity for a number of class volunteers, chosen during the class, to perform materials selected by each instructor. Each Master Class will be unique in its content and instructors will ask for in-class volunteers to perform monologues and/or songs they have prepared or to read from cold sides. Those who would like to volunteer should view Faculty Information to see the focus of each master class and what each faculty member has asked those volunteers, who would like to perform, to prepare. Volunteers selected will perform the material in front of the class and the faculty member will comment on the performance for the benefit of the entire class.


AUDITION APPOINTMENTS (OPTIONAL)
Audition appointments are ten minute individual appointments with an industry professional of the actor’s choice (depending on availability). Actors who meet the criteria for professional or intermediate status will receive the most benefit. Actors are invited to organize their ten minute appointment to best suit their needs.
