Auditions

Both new and repeat students are expected to audition for this year’s cohort.

Learn More About Our Audition Process

The Studio Intensive is a supportive program for passionate theater students who want to build their skills and confidence on stage. Because we expect our Intensive students to already have a solid understanding of theater skills, this is an audition-only program. Both new and repeat students are expected to audition for this year’s cohort.

If you are unavailable for auditions, you may submit a video audition no later than 2pm on September 6th to be considered.

Video Audition Instructions

Classes run Saturday mornings, from 9 .a.m – 12 p.m.

Our expectation is that students attend as many classes as possible. Absences not only impact the learning of the individual student, but also their classmates as theater is an ensemble-based craft. Repeated lateness or absences could result in losing your spot in the cohort. Those decisions will be made at the discretion of the Education Director and Intensive Coordinator. Should absences be unavoidable, please contact and Education Director Kaysy Ostrom and Intensive Coordinator Kim Douthit.

FALL: September 20 – November 22 (no class October 11)

WINTER: January 10 – March 21 (no class on Feb 14th)

SPRING: April 4 – June 13 (no class May 23rd)

Faculty & Curriculum

Students rotate between three performing arts classes each Saturday. We usually do one acting focused class, one movement focused class, and one “wild card” class which could be related to film, music, improv, or any other performing arts subject. Each quarter, we shift the classes based on instructor expertise and student interest. The rotating schedule provides variety of content for returning students. Additional specialty curriculum may be offered as one day workshops throughout the year. Each group will work on different curriculum in each content area.

Our instructors are incredibly experienced and professional in their craft. Our teachers are also currently working as local actors, directors, teachers, musicians, and more.

The schedule looks something like this:

9:00-9:05 – Check in and Announcements
9:05am – 10am – Class One
10am – 10:05am – Passing Period
10:05am – 11am – Class Two
11am-11:05am – Passing Period
11:05am-12pm – Class Three

Our core teachers are:

Kim Douthit – Acting Teacher

Olivia Pedroza – Vocal Teacher

We also have other teachers in rotation based on teacher schedules and to offer specialized workshops.
