High School Juniors and Seniors are invited to attend a day of master classes and workshops with the Theatre Department's faculty in Acting, Directing, Dance, Musical Theatre, Design and Technical Theatre.
Students will get tips about auditioning for undergraduate and conservatory program, how to prepare for the application process and a taste of what a day in taking theatre, dance and technical classes are like!
