2023 Acting

Acting students study character development, motivation, and analysis of intentions and objectives. The daily schedule may include voice and/or movement class. Students rehearse and perform an ensemble workshop production. Applicants should be aware that classes are on a collegiate level and may contain mature subject matter. Up to 18 students are accepted.

Requirements for Applicants

To apply for the acting program, applicants should select two contrasting monologues to perform, no more than two minutes in TOTAL length (including the time between monologues). Auditions will be video recorded live and sent to judges for scoring at a later date.

See dates and locations of the acting auditions on the right side of this page, or visit our full audition schedule page here.
