TECHNICAL THEATRE AUDITION
Prior to the audition procedures, each student must complete the application process.
Technical Theatre is a broad classification that encompasses all the skills and characteristics that support, enhance, and enrich the other performing arts fields. From hanging lights to building sets to fitting costumes, students of Technical Theatre learn rewarding skills that apply to a variety of fields. We are looking for students that show an interest and/or aptitude in one or more of the areas of technical theatre who also exhibit commitment and dedication to seeing projects through to completion. Areas of interest may include: Set construction/design, Electrical work/Lighting design, Costume craft/design, Sound engineering/design, or other applicable field of interest. |
| How to Prepare for the Audition |
Students are required to prepare a portfolio exhibit and explain a design they have made using their medium. The portfolio exhibit may include sketches, lighting design, drafting, photographs of designs, programs (both designed by the student and including any work credits the student may have), models and/or costumes. The design can be developed specifically for the audition or be a design you created for a production. The portfolio demonstrates your interest in the field. Students are not expected to have had prior experience. Research some of the tools and/or techniques that may be used in your area of interest and be prepared to discuss them. Think about why you are interested in working behind the scenes; be ready to share your thoughts with the panelists.
