and Beyond with Erin Quill
Calling all actors and singers! Bring it to Broadway is a workshop series originally designed to bring singers together with experienced Broadway performers for a weekend of master classes and performances. Our past guests have been Margaret Ann Gates (Miss Saigon), Lawrence Street (Urinetown, Ragtime), Catherine Walker (Mary Poppins), and Todd Horman (Urinetown, Ragtime).

One of the most immediately accessible roads into show business for children and young people is performing in television commercials. Not only is it lucrative, financially, it provides a consistent flow of auditions in order for your child to practice his/her audition skills.
In this class we will utilize a camera and commercial copy that will NOT have been prepared ahead of time, just as in a real commercial audition situation. Students will learn how to present themselves professionally in order to give them an advantage when entering this exciting and attainable world.
You will receive helpful packets of information to help define the terms used in the on camera world.
Parents and Adults are also welcome to take this class/workshop and enjoy the experience of performing in front of a camera.
