The Half Pint Studio University Workshop with Broadway Producer, Dani Davis and Broadway Composer, Jason Howland, encourages participants to acknowledge their unique gifts as artists and empowers them to maximize their undergraduate training and experience in this 2-day intensive workshop.

Artists will learn "how to begin" meeting their goals in the world of professional music theater. Dani and Jason will give each workshop participant the necessary tools to harness their unique talent and achieve success at the professional level.

The workshop takes place over 2 days, in 4 intensive, three-hour sessions. The unique Half Pint philosophy teaches participants practical tools as they follow their dreams. Workshop sessions address:

INDUSTRY IQ: Learn to understand and navigate the business of musical theater.

WHO ARE YOU?: Embrace what makes you unique and celebrate that as part of your professional identity.

IGNITE YOUR STAR: Discover how valuing yourself as an artist and a person is an essential part of achieving your career goals.

PRACTICAL PREPARATION: Learn how to assemble the tools and support network you need to audition and work in the professional musical theater. Here we address the audition book, scenes and sides, and the monologue.

MOCK PROFESSIONAL AUDITION: An opportunity to put your new knowledge and self-confidence to the test.

Each session uses a variety of techniques to unlock the artist inside. Participants will have ample opportunity to sing and to discuss the issues that are important to them.

BONUS: In cities where the first national tour of LITTLE WOMEN - THE MUSICAL, starring Maureen McGovern is appearing, workshop participants will attend a performance of the show as Dani and Jason's guests. Following the performance, workshop participants will engage in a talk back session with the show's actors.
