Auditions will take place at the Hampton Inn Center City Hotel (1301 Race Street in Philadelphia) on Saturday, March 23rd from 1p-6p and are by appointment only. Students will be given commercials to read for the audition and will be judged on the following criteria: presence and energy, creative choices, adjustments to direction and how they handle copy. Interested applicants should email colleen@actorsconnection.com for an appointment.
In addition to these auditions, Actors Connection is holding an invited private school challenge. The private school with the highest average score during these auditions will be awarded a free in-school or after-school assembly.
Prior to the auditions, at 10am and 12pm, Actors Connection will hold two informational seminars also at the Hampton Inn Center City. Families interested in learning more about how to get their child or teen involved in Show Business can attend to learn more about how to break into the industry.
