NEW! Musical Theater Audition Master Class with Sarah Cooney, Laura Stanczyk Casting - FIRST TIME GUEST!

Wednesday, September 19, 2018, 7pm ET / 4pm PT

This event is in the past.

Actors Connection is thrilled to have Sarah in teaching this ONE NIGHT ONLY Musical Theater Audition Master Class.

For this Master Class, please prepare 1 full song and bring your book as Sarah may want to hear something additional. The evening will start off with a Q & A, and then each actor will perform for Sarah using your prepared material in a group format. She will coach, give direction and offer possible recommendations of material to "check out" if what you are currently using doesn't "work".

Sarah Cooney (Laura Stanczyk Casting) graduated from New York University's Steinhardt School of Music. After many years as a performer, Sarah joined the other side of the table, first working with theatre casting companies - Joy Dewing Casting and Calleri Casting - and then growing into Casting Assistant positions in film & TV with Gayle Keller Casting and Marc Hirschfeld Casting, before returning to her Theatre roots with Laura Stanczyk Casting.

She has worked as Casting Assistant on CRASHING Season 1 (HBO), THE BIG SICK (feature film – Apatow Productions), and KEVIN CAN WAIT Season 1 (CBS/SONY).

Since transitioning to Laura Stanczyk Casting, she has focused on casting for theatre, working with The Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts, The Shakespeare Theatre of Washington DC, Signature Theatre, Hartford Stage, Studio Theatre, Drury Lane Theatre, Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, McCarter Theatre, as well as Broadway, Off-Broadway, and Touring productions.
