Pasadena Playhouse Musical Theatre Boot Camp
Students focus on the audition process rather than a production, allowing them to enter the college application season with a repertoire of monologues and songs, and the skills needed to find material appropriate for their age and type. Each session culminates in a cabaret performance for family and friends.
