In auditioning and interviewing potential students, the Drama faculty looks for the following qualities:

• A readiness to engage in challenging, intensive work

• A body, voice, and the imaginative and emotional capacities that promise significant potential for growth—this is more important than your present state of technical accomplishment

• An ability to connect with a character

• Curiosity, stamina, openness of mind, appetite for learning, and a willingness to take risks

• A generosity of spirit essential to working within an ensemble 

• A sense of humor, sense of language, sense of rhythm, and a capacity for sustained concentration

• A serious commitment to preparing for the demands of a career as an actor
