Theatre scholarships
To apply for a theatre scholarship, please follow the steps listed below. Theatre activity scholarships are renewed as long as a student is active in the program.
- List your theatre activities in high school, community and/or church.
- Write a statement of your intention to be involved in the theatre program as an activity.
- Have a letter of recommendation from your drama teacher or director sent to the address listed below for the director of theatre activites at Concordia.
- Supporting video or other materials.
For actors seeking a scholarship: Complete a short video or CD of
- a one-minute monologue or
- a three- to five-minute scene with a partner.
The video will typically be shot with a camera about six feet away. It does not need to be of an actual, on-stage performance. We prefer that you not send tapes of shows since these are frequently filmed at a distance and it is difficult to see facial expressions.
For those seeking a technical theatre production scholarship: Technical theatre production applicants do not have to send an audition tape, but they should send documentation of their work in technical theatre. Send photographs of designs, costumes, properties, or information about activities in stage or house management.
