Auditions can feel intimidating — whether you’re walking into the room or running it. That’s why we’re pulling back the curtain with the Rosedale Community Players this free online workshop.

Join hosts Kenneth Franzel (director/producer) and Meg Berger (actor/director) for a relaxed, honest look at the audition process from both sides of the table.

We’ll talk about what really makes a great audition, beyond just “nailing the part.” In this hour-long workshop, we’ll cover:

� How to choose and prepare a monologue

� What directors are actually looking for

� Tips for cold reads and callbacks

� How to stay grounded when nerves kick in

Whether you're brand new or have been doing this for years, you'll leave with practical tools, real talk, and maybe even a little more confidence.
