All acting applicants, including those living abroad, who meet the M.F.A. or Certificate requirements must audition in person according to the schedule. Applicants who have auditioned three times without being offered admission are discouraged from re-applying to the Acting program. Only one application and one audition per admissions cycle is permitted. Each candidate must present two contrasting pieces to share at your initial audition. Your pieces can be drawn from any period and any genre of theatrical literature. The total time of this presentation should not exceed five minutes. We strongly advise candidates to be ready to present a third and even a fourth piece in case members of the Audition Committee request to see additional material. All material must be fully memorized and in English.
