Gesa Power House Theatre will host "Auditioning (from A to Z)" a workshop by Tyson Kaup and ReNae Davis on Saturday, February 17 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

This workshop is intended to demystify the audition process and prepare actors for the upcoming March 9 auditions for the Walla Walla Summer Stage productions ("Annie" and "9 to 5") and beyond. It will focus on the basics of auditioning for traditional and musical theater and cover everything from how to format a headshot and resume; the business of acting and agents; managing nerves and what to expect if you are called back.
