Audition Workshop

With Katie Hudson

Venue: StageCoach Theatre Company office, 44121 Harry Byrd Hwy. Suite 240, Ashburn, VA 20147

Workshop Cost: $30

In this two hour session, you will not only gain the confidence to audition but the tips and tricks of the trade as well. During this session, we will discuss and complete exercises on auditioning technique,  choosing material, reading between the lines with audition notices, cold reading techniques, and audition Do’s and Don’ts. Participants are asked to bring in a monologue of their choosing (memorization not needed!) as well as any songs or monologues they may have used in previous auditions. The goal of this class is to get feedback on how to present yourself for an audition!

Katie Hudson’s passion for theatre started at a young age performing with local theatres such as Growing Stage, Pickwick Players, and Sterling Playmakers. During her young adult career, she studied Musical Theatre at an advanced level and, by her senior year in high school, taught her first class as a Teacher’s Aid for a freshman Basic Acting class. During her collegiate years, she performed in main stage shows such as Medea, Romeo and Juliet, Ice Wolf, Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Speed of Darkness. She also followed the path of teaching by directing studio shows such as Bringing All Back Home, Sight Unseen, and Reckless. Katie graduated from Radford University with her Bachelor’s degree in Theatre with a focus in both Performance and Directing. Katie has worked as a Stage Manager, Director of a Theatre Department and as a Director of an After-School Program. With a firm belief that everyone is a singer and everyone is an actor, Katie strives to find pieces that both fit the need of the individual student’s learning process and challenge them to take their skills to the next level yet give them the confidence they need to push them farther.
