Academic Requirements
Domestic Applicants: BC Grade 12 Graduation (or equivalent) or 19 years of age or older
International Applicants: BC Grade 12 Graduation (or equivalent)
English Language Requirement
Additional Requirements
- Audition
Applicant Notes
- Admission is dependent on the successful completion of an audition. Students must demonstrate sufficient talent indicating they have the potential to become a professionial person in the theatre arts.
- Auditions are held in late April each year. For those located within the Lower Mainland, auditions are held in person. Online auditions are available for candidates located outside of the Lower Mainland.
- Audition fees are required.
- Applicants must indicate a high degree of commitment to pursuing a professional career in the theatre, film, TV, and related arts.
- Admission to a program does not guarantee registration into required courses.
- Students admitted to this program may need to take one or more additional English courses in order to meet the prerequisite requirements of the English courses required in this program.
- Because theatre arts students are requested to put in long and often irregular hours, including evenings and weekends, having an outside job is extremely difficult.
- Students enrolled in the Acting Option are not permitted to take any performing jobs while registered without express permission from the Artistic Director. Senior students sometimes are given the opportunity to gain additional experience by working with professional theatres in Vancouver or working on a film/TV project.
- Preference may be given to applicants:
- who are at least 19 years of age (younger applicants are still considered)
- who have two years of post-secondary education and/or work experience, not necessarily related to theatre arts
- Given the highly unique composition of the Diploma in Theatre Arts at Studio 58 (Acting), it is highly unlikely students will receive direct transfer credit for application to THEA courses.
