Please be aware that auditions and Technical theater interviews are generally available Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11:00am - 6:00pm, and Fridays between 1:00pm - 6:00pm. If those times do not work for you, we can try to accommodate on a case-by-case basis.

Provide a date by when you will submit your video audition if you do not have it now.

Please submit your audition through a web link in the box below.

Acting Students should prepare two short monologues: one classic (e.g., Shakespeare, Hansberry, Chekhov, Wilde, Molière, Hellman) and one contemporary. You may also choose to submit a song and/or dance, though this is optional. We encourage you to preface your monologues with your name, a brief introduction to the play, the scene, and the character(s).

Technical Theater Students (directing, stage management, stage crew, props crew, or set, costume, and lighting design) should be prepared to share their experiences and aspirations.

To enhance your application, you are encouraged to provide visual examples of your work, such as PDFs of production photos, marked-up director's or stage manager's rehearsal script, or a simple website showcasing past projects. While optional, these materials can help illustrate your skills and dedication to the theater arts.
