Ever wonder why you're not getting the parts in musicals that you really want? Don't know what material is "right" for you? These are common concerns and questions faced by every actor or actress pursuing musical theatre.  This is why taking an "audition workshop" would be beneficial to anyone aspiring for musical theatre roles.  Remember: The people behind the table want you to be "The one". It is your job to show them who you are, what you can bring to the table and why they should want to cast you. The culminating activity for the course will be a mock audition before a panel of invited directors.
