Prepare for your next big audition with Tony-nominated actor and performance coach Jere Shea. Whether you are auditioning for college theater programs or simply want to ace your next community or professional theater audition, learn from an industry expert. In this workshop, actors will explore self-selected and prepared scripted monologues, refine their performance, learn new techniques and gain new insight into acting and auditioning. Please memorize and prepare in advance a 2-minute scripted monologue (serious or comic) from a play of your choice and bring a copy of its text to the workshop. This workshop is intended for actors age 15 through adult.  Please Note: For the purpose of this workshop, material from movies and television should be avoided. Jere will however discuss on-screen auditions during the workshop.
