Open Houses
Wondering if Ellington is right for you? Pay us a visit during one of our scheduled Open Houses – learn more about our extraordinary program and see us in action. We will have amazing content to share with you, behind-the-scenes access, live Q&A and breakout sessions to all of our Arts Departments. We look forward to seeing you!
Open houses generally run from 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM and we recommend you join us for the entire program so you don’t miss anything! We will show you images of our newly renovated Ellington Theatre with a general presentation, and then go on to visit our arts departments. See and hear what life at Ellington is really like! Watch this space for updates.
Pre-Audition Workshops - January 2025
Need a vocal coach? Want to review your portfolio? Want to observe a monologue? Interested in rehearsing?
​
Duke Ellington School of the Arts will be hosting PRE-AUDITION WORKSHOPS early in the calendar year. The Art departments at Ellington are offering pre-audition workshops to help you prepare for your audition next year. These auditions will allow you to rehearse, observe, practice, review and get feedback from our teachers before your audition!! Students who participate will be able to learn what to bring, review the audition procedures, learn how to build a portfolio, present their work with confidence and prepare their work for the audition.
​
LOCATION: 3500 R Street NW, Washington, DC 20007
COST: FREE
​
IMPORTANT NOTE: These audition workshops are solely to help you prepare for your audition and they are by no means a part of your application and admission into Ellington!
