MEET SARGENT CONSERVATORY FACULTY Sargent Conservatory faculty attend a variety of Thespian Festivals and other similar events throughout the summer and fall. › Auditions at these sites for Musical Theatre, Acting, and Directing are considered “meet-and-greets” rather than full evaluations. Potential candidates for our Performance programs must apply and schedule an official audition through Admissions as outlined above. › Conversely, we may consider interviews and portfolio reviews at these events for Production candidates (Design, Technical Theatre, and Stage Management) to be full evaluations, and no subsequent interview might be necessary. Prospective Production majors will still need to apply and be accepted by the University before gaining admission into the Conservatory program.

Therefore, only students enrolled in Conservatory classes may audition for productions. Conservatory (CONS) class units are closed to students who are not Performance, Production, Directing, or Stage Management majors. Transfer students in acting or musical theatre need to complete four years of training in the Conservatory in order to graduate, regardless of previous coursework. We evaluate transfer students in production and directing programs individually by portfolio review/interview to determine placement within the training sequence.
