Audition Workshop
AUDITION WORKSHOP UPDATE: 1/28/22
The Audition Workshop is now transitioning to a 1 day zoom intensive on January 29th. due to a positive COVID 19 test amongst Wallace staff.
Attendees must preregister by Friday, January 28th at 4PM to receive the zoom link. This event is now free, current ticket holders will be refunded and contacted via email with instructions for the event model.
This choice was made to protect our staff and actors so that we all may remain healthy for upcoming auditions on February 5 & 6 for The Wallace's spring production of "Shakespeare in Hollywood."
In keeping with it’s mission to create experiences that entertain, inspire, and empower, The Wallace Theater is pleased to present a two day audition workshop led by Artistic Director Anna Hogan.
Actors ages 16+ are invited to partake in a two part intensive on January 29 and 30 that will delve into the casting process and give insight into how to prepare yourself for various audition experiences.
Attendees can expect an introduction to the standard auditioning process as well as feedback from eight guest directors on their individual styles and preferences in the audition room. With a breakdown of audition technique, an introduction to classical texts with Dr. Dan Nazworth, a mock audition and feedback session, and a moderated Q&A with a guest panel of directors (panelist will be a hybrid of zoom and in-person), participants will be given hands-on guidance in a supportive environment in which they can ask questions and apply new techniques.

Dr. Dan Nazworth (South Plains College Fine Arts Department Chair)
Casey Keenan Joiner (Texas Tech University Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre)
