Follow the theatre audition steps below for Fall 2024 theatre auditions.
Step 1: Apply for admission to the Douglas College Theatre program
You'll receive notification from the College about your application. Please follow the instructions carefully regarding transcripts or any other items you may need to submit as you will not be able to audition without being fully accepted into the College. Once you have received full acceptance, move on to step two.
(Please note that applications for the Theatre Diploma program will open again in October 2023.)
Audition Instructions
The audition includes both an individual audition and a group workshop.
-
The individual audition includes two monologues, a 30 second performance of a song, and a short interview. Applicants are asked to prepare a 90 second monologue from a published play as well as one monologue from a selection that will be provided.
-
The group workshop takes place before the individual auditions and includes other applicants in a workshop focused on acting and movement.
Scheduling an Audition
Auditions for the 2024/2025 academic year will be held at Douglas College in New Westminster, BC. Once you have been accepted into the college, you will be contacted by email to schedule your audition.
