Audition Workshop Report



Candice was last seen at the Empress as a Southern Lady in Lucky Stiff and Sister Mary Patrick in Sister Act. She has also been seen on and behind the stage at Hale Center Theatre, Midvale Arts, Murray Arts and Rogers Memorial to name a few. Previous roles include Cat in the Hat in Seussical, Annabel in Lucky Stiff, Mrs. Patty in Curious Savage and Lucinda in Into The Woods. Her next adventure is as Director for Ghost the Musical at our own Empress Theatre. Candice also loves attending the theater with her three favorite dates; her hubby, Hutch and two boys, Perrin and Atticus.

Hannah reports:
Workshop today was about the 5 BEES.  Be prepared, be confident, be directable, and be comfortable.  These are for auditioning and in practice.  We learned to say our name, to say we are performing a song, a monologue, and/or a dance.  You be confident and comfortable walking in early, and be clear and loud.  Then you get into character and audition.  I liked workshop today.
