We are no longer accepting audition appointments because all the appointment times are completely booked, but walk-ins will be very welcome.  Please be advised, however, that you will have to wait while we fit walk-ins between existing appointments and when there are no-shows.  (Best bet for the shortest wait time for walk-ins will probably be between 5:30 and 7:30 each day.) If you have any questions, please click on the box above.  Thank you!
