Is an audition or portfolio review necessary for admission to the Theatre Concentration?
Yes. Applicants most interested in performance present an audition, those directed toward design and theatre technology present a portfolio for review, and those interested in theatre studies (including theatre history, dramaturgy, theatre criticism, playwriting, directing, and management) present examples and records of their work. All applicants also interview with theatre faculty. Details on the “gateway process” for admission to the concentration can be found at http://www.jmu.edu/theatre/thadmis.htm.
