Saturday, May 14, 2011, 12pm ET / 9am PT

This event is in the past.

AC is thrilled to welcome back Gary John who will be teaching our newest ONE NIGHT ONLY Musical Theater Audition Master Class. For this Master Class, please prepare 2 contrasting songs and bring your book as Gary John may want to hear something additional. The afternoon will start off with a Q & A, and then each actor will perform for Gary John 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". Gary John is an in-demand SDC director-choreographer and musical theatre coach. He has worked in the theatre professionally for over twenty-five years directing well over 200 productions nationally.
