Other Requirements

  • All candidates must attend a mandatory program admission session, where you will be required to audition. For the audition:
    • Prepare two contrasting monologues – one classic and one contemporary (or self-written). Monologues should be no more than one and a half minutes in length
    • You may be asked to respond to additional coaching or direction
  • Please bring a resume and be prepared to discuss your previous experience as well as your current interests in theatre practice.
  • We highly recommend that candidates attend a program admission session in-person, but under extenuating circumstances, a video and resume can be submitted for review and evaluation. Please contact for the program coordinator for details.
  • After applying, you will receive a letter with additional instructions on how to prepare for and book your program admission session.

 

Course Information

Centennial College’s Theatre Arts and Performance program is your open door to a groundbreaking professional career in theatre. You'll develop your technical skills, nurture your artistic voice and make crucial industry connections.

Classes in acting, movement and voice will expand your artistic range across different styles of classic and contemporary performance, including live and on-camera. You'll also build your audition skills, learn how to get an agent and create your own dynamic demo reel. Through independent “storefront” productions, meanwhile, you’ll gain experience as an actor-entrepreneur, pushing your creative boundaries to the front-line of theatre innovation and gaining the tools to succeed in Canada’s vibrant theatre scene.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready to run your own theatre company or develop your career as a professional actor, director, stage manager, producer or instructor, in Canada and on the world stage.
