The University of Utah was glad to welcome Robert Armitage and Anita Endsley from Disney Live Entertainment to campus on Wednesday for audition workshops with our College of Fine Arts students! The first stop was a dance call with the School of Dance and Musical Theatre Program. Over 70 students got on stage to learn the choreography and get tips and tricks for auditioning. The next stop was with the School of Music and a visit to Professor Bobick’s Opera Workshop class where Robby and Anita shared information about Disney’s various opportunities. The last stop of the day was with the Musical Theatre Program in Professor Eggers Senior Showcase class. Students were able to go through a true audition process and get positive and critical feedback on the two contrasting pieces they performed.
