Rose Will See You Now: An Audition Workshop with Casting Director Rose Riordan
 
This nuts-and-bolts workshop will boost your confidence regarding the hardest part of being an actor: the audition.  As an on-your-feet, practical intensive, you will work with your current audition pieces to gain perspective on what a casting director really sees when you perform — and what s/he really hopes to see.  Come prepared with four short monologues (one minute in length max for each one) and expect to gain insight into your personal presentation, as well as to breathe new life into your favorite audition pieces. Space limited.
