2025 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. At least one monologue must be from a contemporary play (20th century – present). Applicants will video record their audition to submit online as part of the OSAI application.
