Admission Information

Applications for the next PTTP MFA Class of 2011 are now closed.

Applicant Rquirements

Performance: 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.

Stage Management & Technical Production: Applicants are required to interview. While an in-person interview is preferable and highly encouraged, a telephone interview is acceptable. Applicants should bring to their interview—or in the case of a telephone interview, mail to the PTTP in advance—any pertinent materials (e.g. photographs, production books, renderings, draftings, slides.) Interested students should complete and return the PTTP application.

There is No Audition/Interview Fee

Applicants' talent and aptitude are evaluated via the audition/interview process conducted in cities throughout the United States. Applicants sign up for their preferred city and date on the application form. Each student will then be notified of the specific audition/interview time to which he or she has been assigned.

Degree Requirements

The Program confers the M.F.A. degree in Theatre. Criteria for admission include an undergraduate degree or equivalent theatre experience as demonstrated in the audition/interview process. Graduate Record Examination Scores are not required.

Financial Aid

It is a policy of the PTTP that no admissable student be unable to train in the PTTP for financial reasons. Financial aid in the form of full tuition waivers and full stipends is therefore provided to all incoming PTTP students.
