UAF Theatre Majors are required to participate either in semester audition monologues, or in semester portfolio reviews. All are welcome to attend, even if just as an observer.
What?
IN THE FALL: Bring your complete portfolio - even if you haven't put it together yet – and an updated complete resume, so that the faculty may look them. This will allow us to determine your status and where you are in your development, and also give you feedback as to how to improve your portfolio and resume so that you are prepared for Spring Portfolio Review and seeking employment after graduation.
Your complete portfolio constitutes all of your work in various areas of theater to date.
PLEASE ALSO EMAIL YOUR RESUME AND COVER LETTER TO THE FACULTY FOR FEEDBACK. Theatre.UAF@alaska.edu
IN THE SPRING: Bring a resume, cover letter and portfolio tailored to apply for one of the job listings below. Your portfolio should be formatted so that your best work in the job area you have selected is displayed first. Irrelevant work should be removed or displayed last. This portfolio should have appropriate labels, quality photos and represent the kind of employee/artist you would be if hired; in other words, bring something you would actually show to a potential employer at an in-person interview. PLEASE ALSO EMAIL YOUR RESUME AND COVER LETTER TO THE FACULTY FOR FEEDBACK. Theatre.UAF@alaska.edu
