Connecticut Renaissance Faire to Hold Audition Workshop

Registration is free for the March 21st workshop and open to all

HEBRON, Conn. - The Connecticut Renaissance Faire will host an audition workshop on March 21 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Hebron Lions Fairgrounds in Hebron. This workshop is open to all performers interested in learning how to audition for roles in almost any show.

The audition workshop is free to attend, but registration is required. Participants will learn basic skills required to audition for roles including what to wear, how to prepare for a certain role, choosing the right monologue and much more. Attendees must be at least 16-years-old to participate in this workshop.

“Even veteran performers will find the workshop helpful,” said Daniel Desilets, a co-owner of the Connecticut Renaissance Faire.

“Attendees are encouraged to dress comfortably in clothing that allows flexibility, and appropriate active footwear. They should also bring materials to take notes, a monologue to work with and a good attitude and willingness to learn,” Desilets added.

Participants will have the opportunity to test their new skills at auditions for the 11th annual Connecticut Renaissance Faire held on April 18 and 19 at the fairgrounds. Anyone planning to attend the audition is encouraged to participate in the workshop.

“Every year, the faire continues to grow both in attendance and size. Our auditions are open to anyone who wants to be a part of the faire. In the past, our performers have come from all over New England and New York. This year we hope to continue that tradition,” Desilets said.
