Performance Opportunities for Actors

In the first two years, roles are assigned primarily to serve the needs of an individual student’s training rather than the demands of the play. In the third and fourth years, we seek to serve both the play and the needs of the ensemble. All casting is done by the faculty; there are no auditions.

除了, throughout their time with Juilliard 戏剧 students will be cast in 发挥实验室 and new play workshops as well as have the opportunity to work with guest artists and students from other divisions on exciting interdisciplinary projects.

First and Second Years

• Rehearsal projects: Students learn how to use the rehearsal process to work on a role in the context of an entire play. These projects are shared at two or three open run-throughs with an audience of Juilliard students, 工作人员, and faculty; during the second year, friends and family members are also invited.
