AUDITIONS THIS SATURDAY! Triple Threat Training: Ordway's Professional Musical Theater Intensive

Spread the word!  Ordway is looking for motivated young musical theater artists between the ages of 13-18 to participate in the Ordway's NEW Triple Threat Training Program. 
We've already had one round of auditions with only one more to go! Auditions are this Saturday, March 31st - Sign in 12-1pm!! Don't miss out on this great opportunity!

The Ordway’s Triple Threat Training Program is a one week intensive in musical theater designed exclusively for motivated young artists to experience professional theater training. Students will work with a team of experienced instructors to develop and hone their vocal, stage and dance techniques, as well as build their skill set for auditioning, increase their knowledge of musical theater history, and practice character development through the use of dramaturgy. Morning sessions will consist of a rotation through courses on voice, dance, acting, and theater history/dramaturgy. Afternoons will consist of work with a professional director and choreographer on scenes and selections from popular musicals in the Ordway’s upcoming theater season, including Billy Elliot The Musical, Elf, Anything Goes, and Chicago.
