Auditions are hard! Everybody knows that. This class prepares young actors with great monologues and appropriate songs for
musical theatre, thereby bolstering confidence in presentation. Tips for making your child’s audition perfect include: what
to wear, eye contact with directors, and how to move, or not, during the audition. Facial expressions and characterization
elements will also be explored. Learn what the directors are looking for and when in doubt always include a headshot! Let
us help you get the part you want.

Ellis County Children’s Theater (ECCT) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, founded by Gail Stutts Harrell in 2008. We provide local artists, professional teachers, and directors an organization in which they may collaborate and coordinate skills in creating a rich educational environment for children living in southern Dallas and surrounding counties.

It is the intention for Ellis County Children’s Theater to offer a wide range of theater and music opportunities to any child able to attend classes and performances. We seek to be inclusive I reaching children ages 5 through 18 of any ability including physically impaired, emotionally challenged, or learning disabled at an affordable cost. In addition, we invite the underserved children not having access to fine arts programs in their communities to join us and for every child we hope offer any financial assistance making attendance possible.
