Students in Rebel Theatre Honors got to work alongside Broadway's Brennyn Lark (Six, Les Mis) in an audition masterclass last month. Students also got the chance to meet with faculty from AMDA - College and Conservatory of Performing Arts in New York. Four seniors got to audition for the school after working with Brennyn on their pieces. What a great opportunity for our Rebel Theatre students!
