Admission Requirements

Entrance into the program is determined by review of your portfolio for design or by interview for technical theatre. Acceptance into the University does not necessarily confer acceptance into the various programs of the Department of Performing Arts. The directors and resident designers of the program will conduct the interviews. For the interview, you will need:

• a written statement about your professional goal
• an informal photograph for our files
• a written résumé of your educational background and professional and nonprofessional theatre experience
• examples of previous artistic experience such as lighting plots, designs, sketches
• a portfolio of your work including drawings, paintings, models, sculpture pieces, or photographs of such work if available
• stage management candidates must submit one to three letters of recommendation from directors and producers and/or evidence of ability and promise, in lieu of art work.
