How the Workshop Relates to Auditions

This is audition preparation—not the audition itself and not a casting guarantee. The workshop gives students guided practice with the same kinds of singing, acting and movement they will encounter in Broadway Rise’s casting process. Participation helps performers understand what to expect and show up feeling ready; all casting decisions are made separately based on the needs of each production.
