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.
