THEATRE CAMPS AND CLASSES

Millbrook provides a safe space for artists of every age to explore the wonderful world of live theater! We strive to allow performers of all ages to learn, grow, play, and explore through our educational programs. All of our productions and camps are directed by working professionals who bring their unique perspective and real world experience into a classroom setting to enrich our students. Each experience is designed to teach young people the fundamentals of performing, and build confidence, empathy, and awareness on and off stage.

FALL ACTING CLASSES

The Audition Prep Intensive for Performers in Grades 5–12

Auditions for Millbrook Playhouse’s upcoming production of Disney’s Frozen are right around the corner! High school musical audition season will be here before you know it—and fall play auditions are already lining up.

Are you ready to walk into the audition room with total confidence?

Own the Room is an intensive, practical workshop designed to help young actors master the audition process from start to finish. This class is led by Ericka Lee Conklin, director of Millbrook’s blockbuster hit Annie and the Drama Director of the award-winning Drama Club at Central Mountain High School. Under her expert guidance, students in grades 5–12 will gain the exact tools they need to stand out, make bold artistic choices, and showcase their absolute best selves.

Whether you are preparing for your very first audition or leveling up for mainstage roles and college programs, you’ll leave this workshop with polished material, stronger technique, and the inner confidence to command any stage.

What You’ll Master:

  • Material Selection & Prep: How to choose the right monologue and musical cut for you (and what “overdone” really means).

  • Monologue Technique: Marking up your script, finding your objectives and tactics, and creating a believable physical character.

  • Acting Through Song: How to connect with your sheet music, communicate with an accompanist or track, and tell a story through vocal performance.

  • In-the-Room Etiquette: Mastering your slate, dressing for success, establishing your “moment before,” and making an immediate impression.

  • Cold Reading: Techniques for tackling scripts you’ve never seen on the spot—plus an insider look at how casting decisions are actually made!

  • The Mock Audition Experience: Put your new skills to the test in a realistic audition setting! Participants will “audition” before a distinguished panel of experienced teachers, directors, and theatre professionals from educational and professional settings. Each student will receive invaluable, personalized feedback to refine their performance before real-world auditions begin.
