Auditions and Applications

How to Apply: Performance

MFA Theatre Performance (Acting)

Statement of Purpose
Three (3) Letters of Recommendation
A headshot and resume.
Auditions are mandatory. Actors should prepare three monologues of no more than 3 minutes each, one of which must be Shakespeare.

Applicants are responsible for contacting Kalo Gow (kgow@uno.edu) regarding the schedule for on campus auditions or to make alternate arrangements. On campus auditions include an interview, tour of facilities and private discussions with current MFA actors.

If circumstances do not permit an audition on-campus, a DVD is perfectly acceptable. DVD auditions should include a one-minute introduction of yourself and interests followed by the monologues. DVD must also contain at least one full-length shot mid-shot, and close up.
