Admission Requirements
Please refer to the information regarding general requirements for Admission and Application to Langara College programs.
Academic Requirements
- Completion of BC Grade 12 or equivalent, or be 19 years of age or older.
- One of the following:
LET with a minimum level 3; LPI with a minimum 26 on the essay and one of 5 in English usage, 5 in sentence structure, or 10 in reading comprehension; BC English 12 or equivalent with a minimum 80%; BC English Literature 12 with a minimum 80%; a university-level English or Communications course for which Langara awards transfer credit, with a minimum 'C-'; or an 'S' in one of ENGL 1107, 1108, or 1110.
Program Requirements
- Admission is dependent on the successful completion of an audition. Students must demonstrate sufficient talent indicating they have the potential to become a professional person in the theatre arts.
- Applicants must indicate a high degree of commitment to pursuing a professional career in the theatre, film, TV, and related arts. Auditions take place in April and May.
- Good knowledge of the English language including the ability to speak, read aloud, and write clearly and correctly.
Program Preferences
- Applicants who are at least 19 years of age.
- Two years of post-secondary education and/or work experience not necessarily related to theatre arts.
Documents Required for Application Evaluation
- Completed application for admission form indicating which option desired: the Acting Option or the Production Option.
- Should they be successful in their auditions, students must submit the following documents to complete their applications:
- Official transcript(s).
- LET or LPI scores (if applicable).
Application and Supporting Documents Deadline
- March 31. The Acting Option has intakes in September and January; the Production Option has an intake in January. Auditions for both options take place in April and May.
Program Notes:
- It is strongly recommended that students be financially able to support themselves WITHOUT having to work during the term. 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 first four terms of the Acting Option are not permitted to take any performing jobs while registered in these terms. Senior students in both acting and production options sometimes are given the opportunity to gain additional experience by working with professional theatres in Vancouver and working on a film/TV project.
Auditions
- Acting: For potential acting students, the audition will consist of the presentation of memorized monologues, improvisations, and a sight-reading.
- Production: For potential production students, admission will be determined through an audition (see above) as well as completion of a project and an extensive interview.
Auditions for both Acting and Production Options are held in late April, early May in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and Ottawa. Audition fee required.
