Admission Information

Applications for the PTTP Stage Management 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 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. For information regarding Stage Management faculty, visit www.rickcmanagement.com.

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 tuition waivers and stipends is therefore available to needy incoming PTTP students. Applicants who will require financial aid to attend must indicate that on the application form.
