Audition Info
Acting for Stage & Screen
Once you have completed the initial application to the university, you will be contacted by our admin staff with information about the audition process for Acting for Stage and Screen.
You will be asked to submit a transcript of your grades, a headshot and a resume.
Your resume can include acting experience and any other experience in performance, the arts, sports and athletics, volunteer work, paid work, courses, education, clubs, awards, etc.
Acting experience is welcome but not required.
The headshot doesn’t need to be professional. Any photo that shows your face clearly will work.
All applicants who submit their transcript, headshot and resume will be invited to audition.

You will receive the Audition Information Package.
It will include detailed instructions of what to prepare for In-Person or Distance Auditions.
For both, you will be asked to prepare two contrasting monologues from a selection we will provide. This includes contemporary and heightened language monologues (such as Shakespeare).

Step 3
The Audition
For In-Person Auditions, you will be asked to take part in group activities led by a panelist. These may include warm ups and improvisation games.
For both In-Person and Distance Auditions, you will perform your monologues (in person or on a self-tape for Distance applicants).
Distance applicants will also be asked to submit a self-tape of a creative movement piece. Instructions for this will be included in your audition package.
Both Distance and In-Person applicants may be asked to join a callback. For Distance applicants, this will be by Zoom. For In-Person applicants, this will be on the day of your audition.
During the callback, you will likely be asked to re-perform one or both of your monologues. You may be asked to respond to direction from the audition panel. You will also be asked a few questions as part of an interview.
We want to get to know you, both as an actor and also how you will fit into our program.
We look forward to meeting you!
