  • Introduction.  Submit a written introductory statement that expresses your interest in Drama 3310 (Acting: Scene Study I).  You might address some of these ideas: what you want to learn in the course, skills you need to develop further, and your general ambitions for performance and the future.  Maximum 500 words
  • Monologue.  Present a monologue from a published play that demonstrates your stage fundamentals, as well as your ability to create a character, play, intentions, and hold audience interest.  You may present a monologue from any genre, form, or era.
  • Performance Creation.  Present a piece you created yourself that demonstrates your understanding of how to theatrically structure and stage your ideas.  You may present any type of self-written monologue, movement piece, song, or any other form of theatrical performance.  Maximum 2 minutes.
