Theatre Arts Audition and Portfolio Requirements

Theatre: Performance
Audition repertoire must consist of two memorized monologues selected from two different plays. Candidates are strongly urged to read these plays in their entirety. Each should be two minutes in length. The audition selections should display contrasting styles, such as comic and serious, verse and prose. Candidates must also sing a 16-bar or one-minute portion of a song from standard musical theatre repertoire. Candidates should sing their musical theatre selection a cappella or provide recorded accompaniment. Please time selections carefully. Candidates must submit a photo or headshot as part of the application for admission. Live auditions are held at Interlochen and are pre-scheduled by the Office of Admission and Financial Aid at the request of the candidate. Applicants who cannot travel to Interlochen may submit recorded audition repertoire by DVD or e-mail.

A portfolio must be submitted at the time of application. The portfolio may contain photographs of productions, three-dimensional work, production books, scene, costume, or lighting examples, visual examples demonstrating artistic vision, and a brief statement discussing undocumented experience in design, stage technology and stage performance.
