Artistic and academic skill assessment
Applicants are expected to have some drama performance experience in school, church, community theatre or extras work. Acceptance is by interview and audition. The interview gives applicants opportunity to discuss past performance and/or production experience. The audition determines current and potential acting ability. Assessment criteria for auditions are below.
Audition
Performance applicants should prepare to present two contrasting monologues and participate in an improvisation.
Theatre practice applicants should prepare to present one monologue and a portfolio demonstrating their area of speciality. For example, a design portfolio

Production applicants should prepare to present a portfolio showcasing two separate areas of specialty. For example, a design portfolio and a director's book.



An interview is conducted concurrently with the audition. Applicants will discuss their previous experience, personal motivation and aspirations.
