Program Descriptions

Program/Class Placement
An audition is required for both programs. The outcome of the audition determines acceptance into the appropriate program and if placed in the Pre-Professional program, level of placement. Audition results are e-mailed within 10 days of each audition. The first day of the Pre-Professional program will be used to verify placement within the class levels. The Intermediate program has one level for all students. View our Auditions page for more information and a list of audition tour sites.
