A cold reading is key to showcasing an actor's strengths and abilities at an audition. Led by Erin Horst, Cloris Award winner and assistant professor of theatre arts at Drake University, teens will learn how to navigate an audition where they are seeing a script for the first time. This workshop is perfect for teens who are getting ready to audition for college theatre programs or are hoping to take their auditions to the next level. Erin Horst graduated from Minnesota State University in Mankato with an M.F.A. in musical theatre. She is familiar to Des Moines audiences from her roles at Iowa Stage Theatre Company where she played Helen in Fun Home and Marta in Company.
