MMT’s audition-only acting class is perfect for advanced-level acting students who want to practice their current performance skills while also learning new ones. Through solo work, partner work, and ensemble-building exercises and activities, students will hone their acting skills, learn essential theatrical techniques, and discover new ways of working together to creatively tell stories onstage.
In the first part of the class, students will focus on monologues and group scenes, while in the second part of the semester, they will bring new works to life, written by MMT’s Playwriting Conservatory students.
This class culminates in a live showcase for family and friends to see what their students have learned.
Enrollment in this course is approved via audition video.
Students must submit a horizontal audition video (midline up) and slate their name, grade and piece. Students must perform 1 monologue (60-90 seconds).
To audition please email conservatoryauditions@nullmillmountain.org no later than Saturday – January 4th at 5:00 pm EST. Auditions are also being held in-person at youth season auditions on Friday – January 10th and Saturday – January 11th more information is available on our website HERE.
