Theatre Studies

BFA Theatre Studies students may submit an array of materials that showcase that interest. Items may include one or more of the following: 

• A digital design & technology portfolio and/or other visual support materials. Items may include:
  • Drawings, sketches or paintings

  • Director’s concept for a show 

• Excerpt from a play written by the student
• Excerpt from a written critical response to a piece of theatre
• One, 60-90 second monologue with slate. The proper slate for a monologue is to share your name, the title of the play, and the playwright at the beginning of the piece.

• This media can be ANYTHING you want: a special skill, an interesting story about yourself, a passion speech, an instrument that you play, etc. “What do you want us to know about you?” and “What makes you unique?”
• Submissions should be no more than 60 seconds.
