Yes, you can apply to more than one program. Candidates must:
Each candidate to the Production Design and Technical Arts program is contacted for an interview. Following the interview, all candidates are required to write a production concept for the mounting of a play chosen by the School. Candidates have one month after the interview to prepare this test.
Candidates to the Set and Costume Design program have one month to design the set and costumes of a play to be chosen by the School. Candidates who pass this initial step are invited to an interview during which they are asked to present a portfolio of recent art or theatrical work.
Applicants to the Acting program must audition (prepare two short monologues that must not exceed two minutes each). A number of candidates are then selected for a callback workshop.
IMPORTANT: The Directing program accepts applications once every two years. Next application period: September 2023.
Once the application has been submitted, candidates to the Directing program are subsequently required to submit a portfolio that will include: a letter of intention, a resume, and a written treatment of a text from a list of plays supplied by the School. After consideration of these submissions, selected candidates will be invited to attend a workshop which will include an interview.
Every Playwriting application must be accompanied by two plays of at least 20 pages each, a letter of intent, and a resume. Several candidates are invited to an interview before the final selection is made.
