SCHOLARSHIPS AND WORK-STUDY

     The Theatre Department offers scholarships for exceptional incoming students of up to $2,500 a year.

     Students planning to pursue a major or a minor in theatre are encouraged to audition with faculty from the Theatre Department. Students with a talent for acting will be asked to perform two memorized contrasting excerpts from scripts of choice—one comedic and one serious selection about three (3) minutes in length each; Shakespeare excerpts should NOT be used for the audition. Directing and technical theatre students will be asked to show a portfolio of past work. Auditions and portfolio reviews will also include a tour of the theatre, costume shop, and set workshops.

     Auditions and portfolio reviews are scheduled during Open House programs and throughout the academic year. Contact the Admissions Office at 1-800-345-3920 ext. 4026 to set up an audition/interview. We are happy to schedule an appointment that is convenient for you.

     We also offer a number of work-study positions in our Scene Shop, Costume Shop, and Box Office for interested students.
