HS Juniors, Seniors Can Get Audition Training at Goodspeed

Goodspeed Musicals’ Max Showalter Center for Education in the Musical Theater announces the Goodspeed Audition Intensive, a new program from the Goodspeed Musical Theatre Institute, which creates a bridge between emerging artists and seasoned professional artists. The program will be conducted Dec. 4 and 5 on the Goodspeed campus in East Haddam.

Goodspeed’s Audition Intensive is a unique and comprehensive program offering training and insider tips for the aspiring Broadway star. This highly selective two-day program will prepare high school juniors and seniors for college musical theatre entrance auditions. Students will have the opportunity to work with Equity actors who have experience in New York, on national tours and at Goodspeed Musicals. They will provide individualized monologue and song coaching, facilitate group exercises, and lead discussions covering all aspects of the audition process.

Students also will participate in mock auditions and a panel discussion, exposing them to industry professionals including a faculty member from a top university musical theatre program, Goodspeed’s Music Director and a choreographer.
