Open Practice in Lois Chiles Studio Theater
Open practice sessions will be available on March 8 and March 9 for the finalists to polish their presentations. This is a great opportunity to double check your timing, perfect your body language, and practice eye contact. This is not the time to make changes to your script! Please, do not wait to practice your presentation until the day-of the competition. Specific times will be announced closer to the event. Note: Coaches will not be present during open practice hours.
