I am interested in applying to Dartmouth and I'm particularly interested in the theater. Should I schedule an audition or an interview with you?
- Although the Theater faculty and staff are happy to meet with you to discuss the Theater Department and to answer your questions when you visit the campus, auditions and interviews are not conducted by members the Theater Department faculty.
Should I send audition materials to you?
- If you have materials that you would like reviewed such as videotapes, they should be sent directly to the Admissions Office and not to the Theater Department. The Admissions Office will refer such materials to the appropriate faculty member for review.
May I see the facilities?
- Tours of the Theater Department theaters (the Moore and the Warner Bentley), costume and scene shops and the rehearsal rooms, are conducted by either of the department Administrative Assistants. It's not necessary to schedule an appointment with them beforehand, although you may do so.
How do students audition for a role in the productions?
- At the beginning of each term a sign-up sheet is posted in Shakespeare Alley in Hopkins Center. Anyone can audition, not just the majors or the upperclasses, and first-year students are often cast in leading roles.
I don't want to act but I'd like to be involved in a play.
- Great! There are a lot of opportunities for students to become involved in the construction of the sets and costumes, and in lighting and sound design. At the start of each term the technical staff recruits students to work in the shops. Information is posted on the bulletin board in Shakespeare Alley and on the Theater Department blitz bulletin.
