Center Stage Productions is introducing its first ever Cabaret Workshop! This workshop is for performers looking to take the next step as an artist and to improve their skills as an auditioner. We want to help develop your artistry through encouraging you to take risks that will take your storytelling skillset to the next level and thereby build your comfortability performing in an audition room. This Cabaret Workshop will run weekdays starting Wednesday July 17ththru August 2nd from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M. and will end in a culminating Cabaret Showcase of the pieces workshopped and coached throughout the class on August 2nd at 7 P.M.

We will be tackling important audition and performance tools including:

Book-Building

Resume-Crafting

Choosing Effective Audition Cuts

Storytelling Through Song

Slating and Video Auditions

Instructors Patrick Murray and Krista Thomas will be selecting and individually assigning material to each performer in the workshop. You will leave the course with at least three new pieces for your book that will span three popular audition genres: Contemporary, Golden Age, and Pop/Rock.

Two mock auditions at both the beginning and end of the course will track your growth throughout the workshop and give you the opportunity to flex the skills you have learned. Additionally, we will have Free-Sing Fridays, during which you can bring in material that you would like to workshop with us in the room.

This workshop will bridge the gap between the personal and the artistic, allowing you to embrace a perspective that is uniquely yours that will make you stand out from the crowd at any audition. We are excited to see you this summer, and we can’t wait to make music with you all!
