What to prepare:
ACTORS:
Prepare a 90-Second Monologue of your choice (classic or contemporary) which best shows off your acting skills. Please note that we will cut you off at the 90-Second mark.
MUSICAL THEATRE:
In addition to the monologue, prepare two theatre songs (16-measure audition versions, but know the complete songs), an up-tempo and a ballad. Women, who can belt, should include both belt and legit. There will also be a dance audition for musical theatre registrants so please bring dance clothes, character and jazz shoes.
CLOTHING:
Standard audition attire is required. There will not be time to change before you audition, so come dressed for your audition. Those students who choose to sing should also bring dance attire, character and jazz shoes if you have them. You will have a few minutes to change into your dance clothing.
DESIGN/TECH & COSTUME DESIGN/PRODUCTION:
If available, bring examples of your design work. These designs can be realized work or class projects. Drawings, sketches, models, and photos presented in an organized manner are a great way to show off your skills. If you do not have design work prepared, do not be intimidated. You are still encouraged to talk with our design faculty

*Students will be assigned to one of two groups for the
remainder of the day. Some students may have short breaks during the day if they are not auditioning/
interviewing for a specific area.
PARENTS: All auditions are private. Performers are brought into the audition room one at a time. We find
that students do their best and most honest work when parents are not watching. You are welcome to wait for your
student in the Gallaway Theatre or the Johnson Room (next door to the Gallaway Theatre) or you might choose to
visit our library or the University Bookstore located on the ground floor of the Ferguson Center. Depending on which area your child is being auditioned/interviewed for, please join us in the Gallaway Theatre for
the closing meeting that your child will be attending (4pm or 5pm depending on their track).
