Auditions to Curtain Calls

This workshop series takes the actor through each phase of the performance cycle. It is the perfect introduction to theatre for anyone thinking about auditioning for the first time, or for those who want to hone their acting skills. Take any workshop individually, or sign-up for all three. A great way to prepare for upcoming productions with PCT!
