MUSICAL THEATER Audition Master Class with Patrick Goodwin CSA, Casting Director, Telsey + Co.

Tuesday, October 21, 2014, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

From one of the busiest casting offices in NY, Actors Connection is thrilled to have Patrick teaching this ONE NIGHT ONLY Musical Theater Audition Master Class.

Currently Patrick is casting: the upcoming Broadway production of FINDING NEVERLAND, the untitled Tina Landau musical for Broadway, the upcoming Sara Bareilles musical of WAITRESS for Broadway and LES MISERABLES for the Dallas Theater Center.

For this Master Class, please prepare your best song and bring your book as Patrick may want to hear something additional. The evening will start off with a Q & A, and then each actor will perform for Patrick using your prepared material in a group format. He will coach, give direction and offer possible recommendations of material to "check out" if what you are currently using doesn't "work".

"Patrick Goodwin is one of the kindest and most knowledgeable casting directors I've ever met. He works with each actor until he feels that they have truly met their potential for the night. He is very generous with his time and talent. Patrick's class goes above and beyond and I cannot recommend it enough." -James Crichton
