Acting Out Audition Information
Spring Semester 2017
Acting Out is offering the spring semester of a new level of classes for those students wanting to go the extra
mile called PLUS! The PLUS program is intended to offer new challenges in Acting and Musical Theatre to
students who already have experience. Students will be accepted into PLUS classes based on a placement
audition. Depending on experience and skill level, PLUS students will work at a more accelerated pace than the
fundamental Acting Out! classes.
There are also new auditioned dance classes offered in Intermediate Tap, Advanced Tap and Musical
Theatre/Jazz dance. To sign up for an audition, use the online signup on the website.
