THEATRE SCHOLARSHIP AUDITIONS/INTERVIEWS (for graduating seniors)
You may submit for both categories, if you have an interest in multiple fields.

Actors: Please prepare two contrasting monologues, with the duration of no more than 2.5 minutes. If you auditioned at Michigan Thespians, you may use the same pieces.

Design, Tech, Management: Please prepare to present/discuss a portfolio of your work. If you presented at Michigan Thespians, you may use the same presentation/portfolio. We want to see the breadth of your production work, so please do not feel like you have to limit your portfolio to any one area of management, design, or tech.  

All Students Applying for Scholarships must fill out the General Application on MyScholarships by March 1st, 2023.

Please forward any questions to the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance Publicity & Recruitment Coordinator, Bridgett Vanderhoof, at [email protected], or call (616) 331-3678
