High schoolers considering auditioning for college programs will have the chance to coach on college audition monologues. Some improv will be woven into the week and students interested in focusing on improv may have the chance to put up a mini improv show on Friday (pending enrollment/demand).

(This intensive is the kick-off to our Independent Film Project, which takes place August 11 to 15. See this link to learn more/enroll for both programs: Acting Intensive & Film)
