Exploration Track
for Freshmen & Sophomores
This program is designed for students who are curious about pursuing Acting or Musical Theatre in college but are still early in the process. The focus is on developing research habits, familiarity with repertoire, and an understanding of what college auditions may require — while also building your support “team” at home so that students and families feel informed together. Beginning this work early helps ensure that when senior year arrives, material selection and application decisions are informed by years of exposure to the process, rather than a rush of new information all at once.
How the Exploration Track Works
The Exploration Track is designed as a guided, year-long introduction to the college audition process, with structured touchpoints to support students and their families along the way.
Students meet with Mimi for a series of extended coaching sessions scheduled at key points in the year. Between sessions, they engage in independent exploration with guided resources put together specifically by Mimi: researching programs, listening to musical theatre, and reading plays, building a foundation of knowledge that will support more advanced work in later years.
Each session builds on the last, combining discussion, reflection, and light coaching to help students begin identifying their artistic interests and developing familiarity with audition material.
Throughout the program, students receive curated resources and ongoing guidance to help them stay on track without feeling overwhelmed.
