“The kids asked great questions,” instructor Codi Fenwick said. “We were probably there over an hour asking questions.”

The actors talked about what their experience was like in high school and college. As well as what they majored in and what their experience is like at auditions.

“The cast was so friendly and provided lots of wisdom on how to start a career in theatre,” Fenwick said.
