Students will participate in a casting audition to determine their roles in our performances. Enrolling in an SFTA performance class ensures your student is part of the show. These in-class auditions are designed to assist us in determining which students will be cast for which roles.
To help students prepare for their in-class casting audition, casting sides will be sent approximately one week prior to class. Those who register after that time will receive the information upon enrollment. This will allow ample time for all students to prepare their casting audition performance for the first class!-
Step into the exciting world of theatrical direction with In The Director’s Chair.
