"Nail
That Audition"
Master Class
"Hardy
did a wonderful job combining information for both
technical and performance students. He also hit
on useful information both for the newbies and
the ones who have been through the process several
times before. They learned many new things. And,
what they had heard from us before, they saw as
comforting to hear it from somebody outside of
our program. Thanks again. It really was terrific."
Woodrow Hood

"As theatre teachers we think we
have heard and seen it all when it comes to auditions
but this workshop pulls it together in such a clear
and energetic way that the students come away with
a much better chance of putting together an audition
that "works!"
