Each audition will be scheduled
for approximately 7 minutes. Although this time is limited, we hope
we will be able to gain a clear impression of your present
range of skills and imagination, the scope of your ability to analyze
text, and the level of technical skills you have at your command.
Most importantly, and most difficult, we seek to determine your potential
for growth in the theatre.
We ask that you present two audition pieces. These monologues
should meet the following criteria: Each piece should be no
longer that two minutes in length. One should be from a contemporary
play and the other from a classical/verse play. Obviously, it will
be to your advantage if you choose clearly contrasting audition
pieces that show us as much as possible your creative range. We also
suggest that at least one piece be within your age range.
Attending your audition will be a member of the acting faculty,
as well as other faculty members and possibly a representative of
the La Jolla Playhouse. Callbacks are conducted at the end of each
day for those candidates we wish to see again. At that time,
we may request that you present a third audition peice or
one or both of your original selections.
You must bring the following to your audition:
- $50.00 check or money order (payable
to UC Regents) for the audition fee.
Please arrive early to check in with the tour stage mamager to confirm
your audition slot and pay the audition fee.
- Give the stage manager a local
telephone number in the city where you are auditioning (friend, family,
hotel)
At the conclusion of the audition
tour, there will be a final selection process. We will then notify
as soon as possible those actors we wish to admit to the
acting program.
If you have questions about the application
process or about the materials required of you, please contact Lee Montaño
