Studio 58 Auditions

Auditions for both the Acting and Production programs take place in April and May each year. Once you have submitted your application to Langara College you will receive a date and time for your audition as well as an audition package—these emails will start go out in February/March. 

You will audition for at least one Theatre Arts faculty member. Additional adjudicators may also be in attendance. During the audition and interview you should be prepared to exhibit sufficient talent and show a high degree of commitment to pursuing a professional career in the theatre or related arts.

Preparing Your Monologues

You are required to prepare two memorized monologues—one from the audition package we will email to you, and the second, a monologue of your own choosing. You will be asked to perform both, in whichever order you like. 

Production students need only prepare one monologue chosen from the enclosed pieces.

Production Play Project 

Production applicants are required to complete a "play project", which involves reading a prescribed play, conducting research and presenting designs (set, costume, lighting, props or sound) for a production. You will be interviewed by the adjudicators about your project. You will receive instructions about the project in your audition package. 

Choosing Your Monologue

  • Contemporary plays only (written since 1995). Shakespeare, Shaw, Greek or other classical plays are NOT permitted.
  • Your monologue must be from a published play, written by someone other than yourself. Monologues from novels, poems or film scripts are NOT permitted.
  • Choose a monologue which contrasts in some way with the monologue you select from the package we send
  • Choose a monologue from a play which you have not performed. We want to see your interpretation of the monologue, rather than a director's version.
  • Choose a character close to your own age, not someone much younger or older.
  • Do not use an accent (i.e. Cockney, Southern, etc.) even if the monologue seems to require it. We want to hear your own voice and speech.
  • Your monologue must be no longer than 2 minutes. Unfortunately, because of time constraints, we will be forced to stop applicants who exceed this time limit.
