Bring Your Authentic Self Forward
Join Short North Stage for an exclusive masterclass with Tony and Emmy-nominated actress Eden Espinosa.
This empowering session will focus on bringing your unique self to the forefront of your work—whether you’re auditioning or performing on stage. Eden will share techniques to shake off intimidation, stay grounded in the room, and quiet the industry noise that can distract from your artistry. Through thoughtful guidance and practical tools, participants will explore how to show up with confidence, clarity, and authenticity.
The evening will include a welcoming group warm-up, individual coaching with six selected performers (with valuable takeaways for all attendees), and a closing Q&A with Eden.
This is a special opportunity to learn from one of today’s most inspiring Broadway talents in an encouraging and supportive environment.
This masterclass is for ages 12 years and older
Eden Espinosa was nominated for both the Tony and Drama League awards for her stunning performance as Tamara De Lempicka in the Broadway production of Lempicka. Variety raved, “Espinosa, starring in the title role, brings both luminosity and strength to her powerful performance...”
Eden’s career as an actress, singer, and voice-over artist has spanned two decades on stage and screen. Espinosa is warmly recognized for her critically acclaimed and iconic portrayals of Elphaba in Wicked (Broadway, Los Angeles, and San Francisco), and Maureen Johnson in the closing Broadway company of Rent. Eden’s passions have also extended to the development of new works, stemming from her early years originating the title role of the now cult favorite Brooklyn the Musical on Broadway, to more recently starring in Michael John LaChuisa’s The Gardens of Anuncia at Lincoln Center.
On Television, Eden can currently be seen guest-starring on Brilliant Minds (NBC), The Equalizer (CBS), and FBI: Most Wanted (CBS). Eden, an in-demand voice-over artist, was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work as The Queen of Hearts in Disney’s Alice’s Wonderland Bakery. She is also known for her voice work as Cassandra in Tangled The Series, Robot Chicken, MAD TV, Elena of Avalor, and Titan Maximum. Eden’s albums Look Around and Revelation, her album of original music, can be found on all streaming platforms and available at www.edenespinosa.com.
