Saturday, July 12
9:30a-12p
Lunch break 30 Minutes
12:30p-3:30p

Get ready to shine at your next audition! In this dynamic workshop, students will work on all three key areas of a musical theatre audition: songs, monologues and choreography. Participants will receive guidance and feedback to help them choose strong audition material, polish their performance and build confidence.

Students should come prepared with a few monologue or song options they would like to explore. The workshop will also include tips and tricks on how to enter the audition room, how to present yourself during each part of the audition and what to expect through the process.

For the dance portion, students should wear comfortable clothing and shoes they can move in (sneakers or jazz shoes recommended). Whether you're new to auditioning or looking to level up your skills, this workshop will help you feel more prepared and empowered for your next role.

Join us this Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Miracle on 34th Street, A Live Musical Radio Play.

What is a Live Musical Radio Play?

Director Deb Hansen has combined elements of traditional musical theatre with those of a live radio play. In a traditional radio play, actors stand at podiums in front of microphones and deliver nuanced performances. The plays use dialogue, music, and sound effects to create an immersive world for the audience. For Rooftop’s performances, some scenes have been staged, where somemusical numbers are performed in front of microphones, all the while giving the production a vibrant variety show feel. Complete with live Foley effects, a radio announcer, and a score of holiday carols, Miracle on 34th Street is a beloved musical that is filled with heartwarming moments, and a message of hope that is sure to inspire.
