Participate in Ordway's Audition Workshops!

Auditions are an essential part of any actor’s career.  Mastering audition technique is the first step toward landing a role. Ordway’s Audition Workshops are an opportunity to receive feedback on your audition skills and offer insight into how to make an even stronger impression. The workshop will cover: choosing audition material, working with an accompanist, audition composure and how to make the most of your 3 minutes of audition time.

 

Participants will perform one song in a mock audition setting and receive constructive feedback from Musical Theatre professionals.  Please prepare at least 16 bars and no more than 64 bars, of a song that best shows off your talents.  Bring clean sheet music for the accompanist and a photo and resume.

Observers are certainly welcome!

The Importance of Arts Integration

Over the past 10 years, the U.S. Department of Education has created programs in order to integrate the arts into an educational setting. Their projects and grants have influenced K-12 students across the country. Results have shown that students who participate in the arts are more creative thinkers and have deeper learning experiences within core academic subjects. Below is a video showing the advantages of arts integration in education.
