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 the Acting for Stage and Screen Program.
You will be asked to submit a transcript of your grades, a headshot and a resume.
The resume may include acting experience as well as any other experience in performance, the arts, sports and athletics, volunteer work, paid work, clubs, awards, etc. This is a way for us to get to know you.
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 be scheduled for your audition, which will be either in person or by Zoom for distance applicants.

The Audition
For both In-Person and Distance auditions, you will perform your monologues for a panel of CapU Theatre faculty.
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 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!
