Freaky Friday Audition Workshop
Saturday 2/20/21 3pm-6pm
This registration is for the audition workshop ONLY. Registering for the workshop does NOT automatically register you for an audition slot. This workshop is to prep auditioners for their actual auditions but is not mandatory.
4/1/21-4/17/21 We will be presenting Disney's Freaky Friday A new musical adaptation of the classic novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films.
This workshop will help you get familiar with the show and our audition process to help you be as successful as you can be!
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other's shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another's struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
