An Actor's Audition:
Preparation & Performance Workshop

03/01/2025 (Sat.) 10:00AM - 2:30PM EST

Comedy Arts Theatre of Charlotte
4128 South Blvd Suite A3 Charlotte, NC 28209

The Metrolina Theatre Association is delighted to announce our first workshop of 2025, focusing on the nightmare of every actor's existence: AUDITIONS.

Whether you're auditioning with sides provided in advance, a prepared song or monologue, or simply cold-reading from the script, every actor knows the nervous feeling that comes with stepping into a casting space. This March, the MTA will be sponsoring a workshop to provide feedback on monologues, discuss tips and techniques to prepare for the big day, best practices for appearance and behavior during the audition, and other frequently asked questions.

Attendees will receive feedback from a panel consisting of the following veterans of the Metrolina theatre scene:

Dr. Corlis Hayes
Ginger Heath
Tom Hollis
Lena Olson
Sonia McLeod

NOTE: while we hope to provide information that will be useful for both musical and spoken auditions, the focus of the feedback will be on monologues. All attendees should prepare at least one minute-long spoken monologue and be ready to perform. You may prepare up to two monologues (one should be comedic and one dramatic), if you'd like to receive feedback on both.

Lunch will be provided for all attendees around noon. For nonmembers, there will be a $15.00 fee. For MTA members, there is no charge for attendance; theater companies with current MTA membership can also designate two attendees at no charge.

Our thanks go out to Abby Head and CATCh for generously hosting the event in their space!
