AUDITIONS must be uploaded by August 15
This year auditions will be taking place virtually. As your audition, you must fill out the Google form below by August 15th. You are required to fill out each field in order to submit- so make sure to have all materials and information gathered before starting the form. All will be required to attach your headshot and resume. If you are auditioning for the musical, you will also have to attach an mp3 of your accompaniment track. You will also be required to submit a YouTube or Vimeo link to your video audition. Please email Adam (adam.yankowy@drake.edu) if you have any questions or problems with the google form.
Q&A with the directors – Due to COVID-19 there will not be a pre-audition Q&A. Please send any questions you have about the shows and/or the audition process to the directors.
Both student mainstage directors and both STP directors will be casting from these same audition videos. There will not be a separate audition event held for the STP’s. We will be bringing a guest director to campus to direct the final play of our upcoming season. This person will view the video auditions to get an understanding of the talent pool of the department. Knowing the pool will help this person to select a title that is better suited both to your learning needs and the department’s abilities. This guest director may also cast from the video auditions, but only if it becomes necessary, they could call a separate audition.
Please remember that every performance-based BFA student is required to audition and accept the role offered; and anyone else interested in being considered for a role this season is also required to audition. Please email any of the faculty directors with your questions about auditions.
