Primary Stages ESPA Free Workshop
Refining Your Monologue and Audition with Kelly McAndrew
Tuesday, September 13
4:00pm - 5:00pm
Primary Stages Studio B
This ESPA Workshop is FREE and open to the public.
Before and after the Primary Stages ESPA Mixer, join us for a couple of special workshops to get a real taste of some of the classes ESPA has to offer!
Starting with an in-depth discussion on how to approach monologues and auditions, Kelly McAndrew (Actor, Men on Boats at Playwrights Horizons, Perfect Arrangement at Primary Stages) will then coach a handful of participants on what's currently in their book or on sides being prepped for an upcoming audition. With feedback that's universally applicable, all attendees with leave with a stronger sense of what to look for in choosing a monologue, how to break up any audition piece into physical beats, and ultimately, how to refine your repertoire and self-coach your monologue or sides prior to any big audition.
Please prepare an audition-ready monologue or sides you are currently working on if you would like to participate. Participants will be chosen at random, and participation is not required.
