Eligibility & Registration
Only students applying to the Theatre and Drama Studies program should register for an audition.
As a component of your application to Theatre & Drama Studies, you are required to book an audition, which is weighted equally with your academic average. Please book your Theatre & Drama Studies audition as soon as possible and pay the $40 audition fee.
The deadline to register and pay for your audition is Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 11:59pm ET.
Once you have registered and paid for your audition, you will receive detailed information on what you need to prepare for your audition. Please ensure that you review these documents carefully for detailed guidelines.
The Audition
All auditions will be online video submissions. Auditions are recorded by you and submitted electronically to Sheridan College.
You will receive an email from Sheridan in early February, outlining how to access the audition submission portal. These emails will provide you with additional information about the audition submission process.
TIP: We recommend adding "sheridancollege.ca" to your email safe list and checking your e-mail (including your junk/spam folders) regularly.
All audition materials must be submitted by Tuesday February 14, 2023 by 12:00pm ET. You are encouraged to start preparing your submission as soon as you have booked and paid for your audition!
Following the review of video auditions by Theatre and Drama Studies faculty, a shortlist of candidates will be contacted for callback auditions in March 2023. Callbacks will be conducted live and online (over Zoom or similar).
