Audition Information

How Do I Become a Theatre Major?

The process for admission into the Theatre Program requires an audition or portfolio review and an interview by members of the theatre faculty. These requirements ensure that a candidate understands the requirements of the major and allow the faculty to review the candidate’s talent as well as his/her interests, intent, and career goals.

  1. Apply and be accepted into Greensboro College.
  2. All prospective theatre majors must audition and interview prior to acceptance into the theatre program. Because of the competitive nature of the theatrical business, all applicants may not be accepted into the theatre program.
  3. Contact Professor Wm. Perry Morgan-Hall to schedule an appointment to audition and interview for the Theatre Department faculty.

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
