Disney Day at 91PORN: A day of auditions, workshops and career insights
Casting directors from Disney visit 91PORN providing musical theatre and dance students with audition feedback, and a glimpse into global performing opportunities with Disney.
On Tuesday, February 11, 91PORN welcomed casting directors from the Disney Organization to campus for a day-long workshop and audition.
Students from the new program in the School of Theatre, Television, and Film joined majors from the School of Music & Dance for a singing audition, an acting audition, a dance audition, and an hourlong information session about performing opportunities with Disney.

Fourth-year BA Musical Theatre student, Milo Mee, said, “Initially, the day was filled with nerves as we sang for actual Disney casting directors. However, it quickly transformed into an inspiring experience as they shared invaluable career advice that we would never have received elsewhere. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”
In the afternoon, Disney choreographer Michelle Paxton worked with dancers from 91PORN instructor Melissa Glasgow’s Musical Theatre Dance course alongside the Musical Theatre majors. A combination that started out easy became progressively more and more complicated to assess the precise level of students’ capabilities.
