Students are encouraged to choose either Acting Audition or Technicians Interviews

Actors should prepare monologue material of a character their approximate age (with no accents or dialects) totaling approximately 90 seconds.
 

In addition, actors interested in pursuing the Musical Theatre B.F.A. degree should also come prepared with either two 16 bar selections from the musical theatre repertory OR one full song.  Accompaniment will be provided. 

 Auditions will be followed by a short interview with the full-time theatre faculty in attendance.

 

Technicians should bring a résumé and portfolio of their work demonstrating carpentry, sewing, and other related skills. Renderings, samples of drafting, and photographs of realized work should be included in the portfolio as available.

Applications for scholarships including letters of recommendation must arrive no later than the day of the audition. If you intend to bring your application with you, please call ahead so we can make necessary arrangements. Late applications are awarded aid as resources allow.
