Admission Information

Applications for the PTTP Acting program are now closed.

Prior to the audition/interview process, all students submit a program application - acquired from the Theatre Department or submitted on-line - along with a résumé and three letters of recommendation. Upon receipt of the program application, résumé and references, all students are scheduled for an audition/interview.

Applicants are requested to prepare two monologues of contrasting mood, one from a modern or contemporary play and one from a classic play in verse. The combined length of the two selections should not exceed four minutes. There is no audition fee. Interested students should complete and return the PTTP application along with a recent résumé.
