SECONDARY AUDITIONS
GTC Secondary School & College Transfer Auditions are open to high school juniors and seniors, and to college students who wish to transfer to a new school. High school students must meet minimum academic standards as noted in the audition form.
INSTRUCTIONS
When registration opens, participating students will need to...
​
-
Complete and print out the Audition Form (click here). It is designed for you to type your entries so that it looks professional for the auditors, but you will need to highlight or circle information to indicate your grade level and whether you are doing an Acting or Tech audition.
-
If you have a resume, please attach to your audition form.
-
Scan the signed form and resume together in one document. When you save it, please file as your first and last name followed by GTC 2024 (i.e. NancyDrewGTC2024)
-
Email your information to the auditions coordinator, Cassie Scott-Fortune. Be sure to attach your audition form to your email!
ACTING
Students will prepare a 90-second audition package featuring one monologue, two monologues of contrasting style, or one monologue and one song from theatrical repertoire. Song segments should not exceed 32-bars of music. A capella singing is not permitted. We encourage the use of a live accompanist over tracks. An accompanist will be provided at auditions.
TECHNICAL
THEATRE
Technical theatre students will use their 90-second presentation to introduce themselves to college representatives and share a little about their theatre experience and their career goals. Technical students are encouraged to develop an online (or hard-copy) portfolio and share the link on their resumes.
THEATRE
EDUCATION
Students interested in a Theatre Education major may prepare either an acting audition or a technical theatre audition, based on their area of strength. Students may select Theatre Education as the only intended major, or may select both theatre education and one other field. Only students who want to audition for both acting and technical theatre are required to submit two forms. Theatre Education prospects who submit two forms may add Theatre Education to both.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE
The deadline for audition submissions is October 1, 2024.

USE A CLEAR, WELL LIT PHOTO
