Downstage Arts believes that any student who wishes to participate in the performing arts should have the access and support they need to be successful. This free class for high school juniors and seniors dissects different parts of the college audition process. Weekly meetings focus on finding schools that students are interested in, preparing audition material, filming self tapes, and honing individual skills. Students leave the class feeling confident and ready to conquer any situation a higher education audition might throw their way. Yearly sessions culminate in a showcase to celebrate the artistry of our cohort.
