About the Show: A century-old haunting.A young girl who won’t speak and an old woman with skin like tree bark. A dead man whistling on the lawn. A nightly ritual. A tale from the dark woods of the Hudson River Valley and the darker woods of the imagination. A story about stories.
Aunt Leaf is inspired by folklore shared across the Americas, the art and literature of the Hudson River Valley and a poem by Mary Oliver and features Mexican performer Indira Pensado taking on various characters in a bilingual ghost story.
Aunt Leaf was originally created and developed by Barbara Wiechmann and Jeffrey Mousseau as part of the HERE Arts Center, NYC, Artist in Residence Program and premiered at HERE in January 2010.

"Solitary” explores aspects of isolation, with the intention of gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. Devised using projections designs, songs, dance and storytelling, the audience is taken on a journey of identity, physical and mental confinement and explores the feeling of being lost.
This course addresses how to select the best song styling after you have chosen that most important number for your audition. Too frequently the right song is chosen to sing but the approach is off course.
If your audition song choice is for a Soul, Jazz, Rock, Country, Pop, R&B, or “traditional” musical theatre show, this workshop will teach you about how to approach that song to best represent yourself and make yourself competitive for your dream job.
Ultimately, you want to audition appropriately and be heard, just the way the artist who originally composed the song would want to hear it, even if the original arrangement has been changed. Please bring tracks or sheet music.

Playbill describes The Broadway Theatre Project (BTP) as "the world's most prestigious musical theatre arts education program for high school and college students." Founded 26 years ago by Ann Reinking and Debra McWaters, this intense 3-week summer institute is proud to add KCACTF Region 1 to its audition tour as it seeks to select 80 of the top students desiring a career in the performing arts.
BTP is very excited about many NEW additions to its programming this summer, including an original theatre production, extraordinary guest artists and a top-notch resident faculty. Always seeking to add to and enhance what has been offered in the past, BTP is preparing to make the 2018 Project its strongest and most rewarding session yet. Students who come to the Project do so for a variety of reasons - some wish to perform in front of the curtain, some wish to create magic backstage, some wish to gather knowledge about selecting the very best colleges in order to provide a longer period of study and perhaps a second major. Whatever your reasons, BTP promises to be an invigorating, inspiring summer of learning and theatre-making for all involved.
The audition for the 2018 session will consist of a dance audition (taught during the “Chicago: The Audition” Workshop) and a vocal audition. (Please note: there will be no live accompaniment.) Come prepared to sing 16-bars a capella or with your own tracks. There will be sound equipment available, should you need it. In addition to the above, please prepare a short monologue. Cold reading material will be available. We look forward to seeing many of you there! Visit our website, or call, for further information: www.BroadwayTheatreProject.com
