Professional Repertory Education and Performance Program (P.R.E.P.P)

Actors auditioning for the season are eligible to apply for the Professional Repertory Education and Performance Program.  The PREP Program has a significant educational aspect with participants receiving 40+ hours of classes including vocal and body work, scansion and rhetoric, and monologue classes to name but a few. In addition to the classwork, all PREPP actors are assigned a scene and Director/Mentor to work with as you prepare for the PREPP showcase of scenes and monologues on our mainstage.

Actors enrolled in PREPP are cast in at least one mainstage show with the potential for understudying roles throughout the season. PREPP actors receive on-the-job training and experience in technical, administrative, and/or educational areas of theatre as you complete your hours of service.
