SYNOPSIS
This class will include a Q&A and a prepared reading with an experienced casting professional.
Please prepare a monologue 2 min. or under
A note from Ada:
Please prepare monologue you feel really strongly about - have a personal connection with or a natural inclination to lean into with all you have. Nothing is too strange, against-type, etc. I'm a big proponent to bravery and creativity and want them to feel loose, in control, and engaged.
