This will be a cabaret of songs that individuals would normally not sing or roles they would not be cast in the industry because of age, type, etc. (*Use your best judgement when picking material and steer away from material that is telling a story not meant for you to tell*). Students should prepare a minute cut of a song they would be interested in performing for the cabaret. Students are asked to provide their own accompaniment or track for the audition. A speaker will be provided. For questions contact Katie Wall or Mason Wold. Here is the link for the audition sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094da8af29aafb6-never.
