Theatre Scholarship Criteria

Lincoln College offers a variety of scholarships for participation in the theatre department. Prospective or current students can audition for scholarships by contacting the Theatre Department and scheduling audition times during the year. The current Lincoln College theatre faculty grants all scholarships.

Acting
Students auditioning for acting scholarships must come prepared with two memorized monologues. The monologues should be contrasting (comedy/drama, classic/contemporary, really angry/slightly angry, anything to show your range) and should be no longer than three minutes total. Please choose scripts from stage drama (no movie scripts or self-written monologues!). Feel free to email the theatre faculty if you need help finding a monologue. Students can provide letters of recommendation and resumes and are also interviewed before and after the audition.

(The theatre faculty understand how nerve-racking an audition can be but want to make the experience as stress-free as possible. Remember the faculty is looking for a positive attitude, preparation, and a willingness to try as much as they are for talent! Relax, you’ll do great!)

Technical Theatre
Students should come prepared to discuss their previous technical experience in lighting, sound, construction, etc. It is also helpful if students bring a portfolio of their previous work.
