HOW TO APPLY

We will be accepting applications February 2–March 2, 2026. Interviews and callbacks will occur on a rolling basis for selected artists.

The application consists of a few short answer questions and materials to upload. You will need to upload:

  • Headshot

  • Résumé

  • Intro Video: Tell us about YOU! We’d love to get to know you as much as possible. Tell us about your theatrical performance and training experience, any lessons or classes you may take, if you’re a part of a college/university degree program or a recent graduate. What are you hoping to get out of an apprentice program? We’d also love to know about your non-theatrical interests! Do you have any pets? What’s your favorite ice cream flavor? We’re so excited to learn about you.

  • Two contrasting cuts of music (16-32ish bars each) — one should be pop/contemporary in style.

  • A dance/movement reel (Optional)

  • Any additional videos that you think might help us get to know you! (Optional)

For your videos, please feel free to record in any space in which you are comfortable — we do not need you to rent a studio space.
