Performance Workshop: A Specmas Carol
This Fall, Spec Labs’ is doing something extra special with a spin-off performance workshop course. We’re seeking voice actors, singers, and instrumentalists to put on a brand-new Holiday production: A Specmas Carol! This exciting production will teach Spec Labs’ artists how to act with hand puppets and perform in a musical with a live band. Be a part of this original show and put your voice acting and musical skills to good use with the help of Spec Labs’ mentors. It’ll be a Holiday show unlike any other!
