We wrapped up our 2022 season with amazing performances of “Moana Jr”. Our biggest group, and most challenging show yet! The campers took on Samoan language, Pacific Island dance, and difficult harmonies. We’re very proud of the work they did and the friendships they formed!
Ms. Beardsley and Mrs. Sheridan are excited to help you get ready for any audition! We will work on resume prep, song choice, and how best to present yourself-as well as how to quell those audition jitters (we all get them!) Register today for this fun and informative workshop being held June 26 from 1:00-3:00 at the Blue Moon Theatre!
What should your resume look like? What song should you sing? How should you dress? Do I need a headshot? What if..?
We’ll answer all your questions in our June workshop! We’ll help you prepare a resume, learn some theatre terminology, give you song suggestions, and time to prepare and try out some choices for us. Camp and summer shows are coming up-be ready!
