Prior to your audition/interview, please submit the following required documents:

• Letter of Intent: outline why you want to study MUTH at CapU and briefly describe your theatre background, career goals and training;

Audition and interview

You will audition for a panel of faculty from the Musical Theatre program.

There are two components to the audition:

1. An individual audition, comprised of a monologue, a song and a short interview;
2. A group audition comprised of a choreographed dance (which will be taught to you) using tap, jazz or ballet techniques and a group question and answer session. 

Detailed information of what to expect for this audition will be provided once you have scheduled your audition time, including a selection of monologues and songs.

Distance audition

While it is highly recommended that you audition in person, the Theatre department at Capilano University will accept digital (such as YouTube) audition submissions.

Detailed information of what to provide for a distance audition will be sent to you once you have been contacted by the School of Performing Arts office.

Distance applications will include an on-camera audition of a monologue, a song, a short dance piece, as well as a short time in front of the camera answering some general interview questions, all of which we will provide.

Thank you for your interest in the Musical Theatre program at Capilano University. We look forward to hearing from you!
