Auditionees:

To prepare for your audition, choose two contrasting pieces of material which exhibit your skills and abilities. Please bring a resume of your recent performance and technical activities with you to the audition. Limit introductory remarks to a title and a few short phrases of description and limit the total time of your presentation to four minutes. Time your material carefully in advance.

First, you may present either a monologue or a speech taken from theatrical literature. Your second selection should be different in tone from your first. If your first selection is a dramatic monologue, your second might be a humorous piece or a selection from a musical comedy. Or your second might be an interpretative reading of light verse, or a musical number. But always choose material suited to your personality, sex, age, and playing ability. Make yourself look good!

If you choose a song, you may bring taped music. We will provide a tape player but not a pianist or piano. Limit costumes and props. We are concerned only with your performance.

Interviewees:

Design/Tech
Please bring a resume of your recent performance and/or technical activities with you to the interview. Be sure to include all relevant experience from school and any other outside work.

Bring a portfolio containing pictures and any drawings, drafting, or sketches you may have used in carrying out the work you have done. Programs from shows are also a good indicator of your work experience. At the interview we wish to get a sense of your future plans and your commitment to the career.

Dance Minor/Dance Concentration
Please bring a resume of your recent dance experiences with you to the audition/interview. Limit introductory remarks to a title and any other production elements related to the work you will present. Limit your total presentation to five minutes. Please time yourself carefully. Plan to perform a 2-4 minute solo work. The dance work can be your own choreography or the work of another choreographer.

If you perform to recorded sound, you must bring your own accompaniment and any other production elements, i.e. costumes, props, etc. We will provide a CD/tape player, but not a live accompanist.
