Design and Technolgy
- Please bring examples of all past work. It is important to include not only your theatre work, but any work that can be related to your area. Examples might include stage manager's prompt scripts, pictures of scenery or props that you may have worked on, art work from a variety of classes or done on your own, and any other pertinent information. We are searching for people who love theatre and have a passion for design and technolgy. While we expect a certain level of understanding, we are most interested in your ability to learn, and your desire to become an active member of our company. You will only be asked to interview. We encourage you to come on our scheduled audition days, but you can submit materials by contacting Ken Martin, Chair, Department of Theatre.

After you have completed the performance portion of the audition, you will be asked to sit and talk with the departmental faculty for several minutes. This is a very important part of the process. We are searching for company members as well as students. It is our hope to put together an incoming class that will ultimately compliment each other intellectually and artistically. We are searching for intellectually curious, serious, self aware, self motivated performers and artists who desire training and who can become capable members of an ensemble. |

If you are a planning to be a Musical Theatre Major, you will be asked to stay for a dance audition. You will be taught a short dance combination to be performed in small groups. In any company there will be a wide range of talent, from those who have taken dance for years, to those who have just started their training. We will be searching for all levels within this spectrum and understand that there are dancers and there are performers who can “move.” |
