Polish Your Skills at Oakton's Free Acting Workshop

Outshine your acting competition by attending a free workshop at Oakton Community College on Tuesday, April 2.

Aspiring thespians: learn how to outshine the competition during your next casting call at a free workshop, Auditioning for Chicago Theater, 6:30 – 9:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 2, at Oakton Community College’s Des Plaines campus, 1600 East Golf Road (Room 1829).

Led by Laura Sturm, acting and movement coach for Act One Studios and The Actor’s Center in Chicago, the workshop covers how to find and sign up for auditions; choose and perfect a great monologue; practice cold readings; and discover some of the finer points of auditioning etiquette.

To register, contact Oakton Professor of Speech and Theater Patti Interrante at pinterra@oakton.edu. When registering, indicate if you have a memorized monologue you’d like to improve. Due to time constraints, the instructor will only critique monologues for the first five people who register.
