Auditions for the Acting Program

The first-year acting class (THEA 1801 & 1802) is open to any student, regardless of experience. However, entrance into the next three years of the Acting Program is by audition only. Students may secure a spot in the Acting Program by auditioning EITHER before they enroll in their first year at HÂþ»­ OR upon completion of their first year. In both scenarios they must complete THEA 1801 & 1802 (or an equivalent at another university) in order to be eligible for the next three years of the program. Students whose auditions have earned their acceptance before enrolling in first year must maintain a grade of B in their THEA 1801 & 1802 class in order or to maintain their spot in the upper years of the program. Scholarship auditions (for students applying directly from high school only) are normally held in March. Auditions for non-scholarship students are normally held in April. Auditions for students who have completed first year are held in April, at the end of the winter term.
