If you are interested in taking the Advanced Drama class for the 2014-2015 school year, now is your chance to audition! Here’s what you need to know:

What IS the Advanced Drama Class?
The KEYS Advanced Drama class is an audition class designed for students with at least a year of acting and/or performing experience. All students interested in taking the class must audition prior to signing up. (Formal training or classes are not a prerequisite, but performing experience is a must – no matter how big or how small.)

Who can audition?
Any student who is in at least 8th grade (or 13 at the beginning of the school year) and has acting/performing experience may audition.

Do I have to memorize something for the audition?
No! We will have a packet prepared for you from which you will read. Packets will be available a week before the first audition. We will also have them available for download at keysdrama.blogspot.com.

Do you have any advice for my audition?
Be prepared.  Pick up the packet in advance and familiarize yourself with the information and scripts included. Seriously, you don’t have to memorize it, but we do encourage you to read it in advance – it really will make a world of difference.

What happens if I don’t make it into the Advanced Drama Class?
If you’re truly passionate about acting and performing and want to learn more, the Principles of Drama (POD) class is a great option! More time will be spent in this class on areas for growth like character development, improvisation, breathing, vocalization, and memorization.  The POD class is also a performance class.

What if I can’t make the audition on the scheduled dates?
If there are scheduling conflicts that will not allow you to attend either date, please contact Mrs. Henaghan in advance at marybhenaghan@gmail.com . More than likely, a one-on-one audition can be arranged.
