SUMMARY:Adult Audition Intensive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Of course\, auditions can be scary and stressful – but all too often actors commit preventable mistakes that keep them from displaying their full potential. This session is designed to help actors of all ages prepare for auditions and avoid these setbacks. \nSession participants will discuss a comprehensive list of “what to do” and “what NOT to dos” when auditioning for a theatre production. Things like: the difference between “good confidence” and “bad confidence\,” how to introduce yourself\, interacting with accompanists\, choosing literature\, etc. \nIn the end\, the more an actor understands the director’s expectations and point of view\, the more successful they will likely be. \nThe class will end with volunteers performing their “cuts” for the class for feedback! Interested students should email their cuts to alex@virginiaartfactory.org. \nAges 15+ \nSaturday\, December 12 \n5-7 pm \nRegistration Fee: $38

SUMMARY:Foudations of Drawing for Young Artists (9-12)

SUMMARY:Broadway and Our Country's 250th Birthday
DESCRIPTION:“Its our time\, breathe it in: worlds to change and worlds to win.” (Merrily We Roll Along) \nIn this course we will examine how certain influential Broadway’s shows can reveal a deeper understanding an appreciation of our nation’s history.

Phrases like: “Hakuna Matatta” or “A person’s a person no matter how small\,” have cultural resonance in multiple continents. \nHopefully\, course participants will gain a deeper appreciation for not only these great shows\, but also our great country\, warts and all! \nAges 15+ \nSundays 3:30-4:30 \nJanuary 10 – February 14 \nRegistration Fee: $114
