Summer Academic Enrichment Eligible Programs

Goals

This Intensive audition workshop aims to bridge the gap between high school and college for students who are serious about pursuing a career in theater performance. The Audition Boot Camp participants will have the opportunity to work on audition techniques and monologues with master teachers and artists. This intensive week-long training program takes advantage of its unique location in the Midwest, at the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College and our close proximity to one of the most thriving theater cities in the nation, Minneapolis, home to the world renowned Guthrie Theater.
