Acting Audition Guidelines

Acting Audition Guidelines

If you wish to be considered for both Acting and Musical Theatre you only need to submit one audition following the Musical Theatre guidelines. 

Required: Monologue

Actors should prepare one contemporary monologue:

• One monologue from a published play or written by a professional writer.
• A professional writer is someone whose plays have been produced but may not have been professionally published.
• It is recommended to choose monologues that are age-appropriate (generally within 5-10 years of your actual age) and that feel authentic to your culture, background, and lived experience.
• Monologue files should be 60-90 seconds, please do not upload media files longer than 90 seconds.
• Active monologues are often better for auditions; an active monologue takes place in real time and focuses on what you want and puts you in direct communication with an imaginary scene partner. This is often more successful in an audition situation than pieces that are a story or remembrance. Additionally, it can be helpful to avoid monologues that rely on extreme emotions as it can be hard to believably justify those responses in a short piece.

Required: Wild Card

• Submissions should be no more than 60 seconds.
• Applicants do NOT need to slate in any wild card media.
• This media can be ANYTHING you want - a special skill, an interesting story about yourself, an instrument you play, etc. “What do you want us to know about you?” and “What makes you unique?”

Required: Statement of Purpose

• In the "Application Portfolio" section, please upload a short essay describing where you see yourself in 10 years and why you want to pursue a career on stage/screen.
