Students will deepen their artistry, refine performance technique, and push their creative boundaries. To enroll, students must have experience in acting and dance and must either have taken Audition Prep or plan to complete it before Quarter 2.

Whether you’re preparing for a school, community, or college audition, this class will help you stand out and get noticed.
