Theater Arts


Students applying for the theater arts program must be auditioned and/or interviewed in addition to submitting an undergraduate application to the university. A nonrefundable audition or interview fee will be charged in addition to the university application fee.

Applicants for the acting concentration should prepare one contemporary and one classical monologue. The monologues should not exceed four minutes (in combined time). The monologues, which must be memorized, should be roles for which the applicant expects to be cast. Applicants should also bring a headshot and résumé of their theatrical experience.

Applicants for the design concentrations (set, costume, costume technology, and lighting) should bring a résumé of their theatrical activities plus a portfolio with examples of any artwork and drawings they may have done for classes, on their own, for the school paper, or any other outlet. These drawings do not have to pertain to theater. Photographs of shows or craft projects are also helpful. The portfolio should be presented in a manila folder or portfolio case.

Applicants for the production and management concentrations (stage management and technical direction) should bring a résumé of their theatrical activities, as well as materials representative of their interest and background in theater, such as prompt books, photographs of crafts, shows or construction projects, or drafting.
