Grant Auditions

Observations



Every year there are auditions available for the students to have a chance of getting into productions. But there are another type of auditions that give the students a chance to earn up to 3000 dollars in scholarship money.
The audition dates span over a couple months and each student has a choice of when the would like to perform for a few faculty in the area they are majoring or wish to major in. During the auditions themselves the students have to present something that goes with their major such as two contrasting monologues for acting or a dance solo for the dance majors.
After the performance the student is then interviewed by the faculty members who want to find out if they are worth the money being given to them.
The process the acting students generally go through to get ready for the auditions are as follows-
Signing up for a date on the Nova website
finding two monologues of a contrasting nature that best represent themselves as an actor.
Practicing the pieces and even selecting a third monologue in case the faculty asks for another.
Getting a good nights sleep before the audition date.
The performance.

These auditions are a great opportunity for the theater students, giving them a chance to practice the all important audition that every aspiring actor has to go through.
