⭐️ OUR ONLINE WEEKEND WORKSHOP TOGETHER!(Saturday and Sunday April 18th and 19th)
During which we will:
📍Discuss a variety of musical theatre and acting programs and develop a list of schools that you may be interested in auditioning for based on academic and artistic credentials.
📍Walk you through the process of college tours and visits, applications, pre-screen videos, live auditions, admissions and program director correspondence, financial aid, final decisions and more!
📍Help you develop a timeline for your junior and/or senior year with all pertinent upcoming dates.
📍Guide you in choosing audition material that highlights your personality and performance strengths!
📍Introduce you to a large number of monologues and pre-1970 musical theatre songs that you may be unfamiliar with but might be the right fit for your audition.
📍Help you showcase yourself at your very best! We will help you create an audition package that makes you stand out from the crowd. Are you an engaging storyteller? A skillful technician? Is there something new you can bring to the piece that we have never seen before? Why is it that you are you speaking or singing these words, now? What would you like to be sure the college admissions panel knows about you by the time you have left the room?
📍Make sure you leave the College Audition Workshop with a list of at least 10-15 schools to target on your college audition journey. Our goal is to give you a realistic idea of which schools are likely to be a strong “fit” for your particular talents and academic abilities, as well as the schools that should remain on your list as you continue to “reach” for your ultimate career goals and ideal collegiate experience!

BAA’s College Audition Workshop is designed to assist high school juniors and/or seniors who plan to audition for university level performing arts programs.
Choosing material for your college audition, and going through the senior year audition process can be both exciting and daunting for performers and their parents. The BAA College Audition Workshop is specifically designed to take the guess work out of the entire process for you. In this four-day intensive, we cover a range of topics including: the application process, pre-screen videos, financial aid resources, song and monologue selection, audition technique, the selection of the final list of colleges to include on your audition journey, senior year timeline calendar and expectations, and the best way follow-up with your dream schools.
With the direction of the BAA Staff, you will choose audition material that highlights your individuality and performance strengths, while meeting the preferences and requirements of your top choice schools. The Workshop will conclude with a “Mock Audition” where you will present your audition songs and/or monologues in a panel setting and receive individual feedback!
This year’s College Audition Workshop will be run by Bob Cline (PACE University, Top NYC Casting Director) and Jennifer Johns (NYU, BAA’s Artistic Director). Additional one on one feedback will be provided from Program Directors and Senior Faculty from top Musical Theatre University and Conservatory programs, visiting as guest Master Class instructors and Mock Audition panelists throughout the 3 day workshop.
