Admissions

Our program is open to all students; no prospective student will ever be denied admission on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, age, or veteran status. After all, we believe diversity brings new ideas, perspectives, and experiences that everyone can learn from and use to become a better person – and a more well rounded actor. Because we seek students with both the drive and talent to gain the most from our program, an audition is required for acceptance into the program, and applicants must have a high school degree or a GED.
