Mock Musical Theatre Audition Day

The day will include a mock-audition workshop facilitated by convention producer and Australian dance royalty Kelley Abbey. Students will be put through their paces by a panel of industry heavyweights and of course our Producer Kelley Abbey, learning the skill needed to endure an authentic cattle-call audition. At the completion of this mock audition, three remarkable auditionees and the TOP 20 will be chosen to perform in the opening number of LUMINO - Performing Arts Gala on Saturday 2 September 2023. This is the perfect opportunity to be noticed by some of the leading creatives in this country, they are the ones making the decisions and employing the next generation of Australian performers in the industry!
