The Audition

On the day of the audition, please wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to move and participate. Wear soft-soled shoes with a low heel. Do NOT wear jeans or other tight, restrictive clothing.

As part of the audition process, you will learn and present a movement sequence. The audition will also include physical and vocal warm-ups, a cold reading, and improvised scene.

Candidates are asked to memorize and prepare two monologues. Each monologue should be approximately 1 minute in length. One monologue should be by a character from a play by Shakespeare. The other monologue should be by a character from a published modern or contemporary play. The monologues
should contrast with one another.

Free Audition Workshop

In preparation for your audition, the School of Dramatic Art offers a free audition workshop in November, designed to help you prepare for the Spring entrance auditions. Workshops are held in the Jackman Dramatic Art Centre at the University of Windsor.
