Our faculty recognizes that many students have not been able to extensively document their experience. We encourage students to interview with what they have available. Passion, commitment, creative problem solving and imagination can be as important as extensive experience.

After submission, you will be contact by a member of our Theatre Department to schedule your virtual audition or portfolio review.

We are looking for students who are well read, possess a variety of interests, and come to us with an array of experiences and talents. We want to get to know you - be yourself! We want to know why theatre is important to you and why the arts are a part of your world. Tell us what you really think, not what you think we want to hear.

Please take note of your lighting, background and where you place your camera to ensure the Theatre Arts faculty can see and hear you clearly and without distraction.
