Production/Theatre Design and Technology
The Production and Theatre Design and Technology concentrations do not require references or an audition in order to be considered. However, a Conservatory application and an interview with a theatre faculty member will be required.
Online Submission Guidelines
While we prefer students to audition in person, we also recognize that not everyone will be able to do so, specifically with regards to students who live across the country or internationally. In cases like these, we accept recorded auditions via YouTube, due May 1. Simply upload a video recording (meeting the following requirements) and email the link to music@biola.edu. Those planning to audition via recording must adhere to the following guidelines:
- Performance of each piece should be continuous with no editing; this includes video cuts or audio editing (ie autotune, reverb, effects).
- Include the date of the performance, which should be no more than 6 months old.
- Include a typed copy of the entire performance program. There should be no talking or explanation on the recording itself. Any additional comments should be typed and submitted with the recording.
- All recorded audition submissions must be of highest quality sound and visual recordings.
