Season 29

Chicago Storefront Audition Workshops

  • I want to tune up my audition and callback skills!

  • I am new to Chicago & want to learn about the “Chicago storefront” audition style!

Regardless of your experience level and skill set, Stage Left Theatre invites you to take part in our 2012 Storefront Audition Workshops. This comprehensive 3-day workshop will give you the complete 360 degree storefront audition experience without the pressure of a real make it or break it audition. Learn what things you do inside and outside the audition room that can either get you the part, or get you the dreaded “Thanks, but no thanks.” Stage Left’s Ensemble of artists, who collectively work with countless other storefront theatres, will advise you how to get in the door with your headshot and resume, sharpen your sense of direction when performing general audition monologues, and help you make strong choices that will land you the role in your cold reading callbacks. Choose which day is most appealing to you, or enroll in all three. The more days you sign up for, the more you learn!
