CAP21 accepts on a rolling admission basis. Students are notified of acceptance or decline within ten business days of their audition. The program usually fills up by mid-April, once the in person audition dates are complete. Students who apply/audition after the program is filled are placed on a wait-list.
All applicants must demonstrate the following proficiencies for admission to the Summer High School Musical Theatre Training Program:
- A desire for comprehensive training in acting, singing and dance, while experiencing the rigor of Conservatory style training.
- Clear articulation of individual goals, sufficient English skills and the ability to understand language.
- An openness and willingness to learn from faculty and peers.
- A healthy physical instrument to participate fully in the program.
Wait List Policy:
Wait lists are created when a program meets maximum capacity. The proficiency expectation criteria for programs listed in the CAP21 Student Handbook and on the CAP21 website will be used to determine placement on a program's wait list. The size of the program and departmental projections will determine the number of students placed on a program's wait list. If a student is accepted into a program from the wait list, they will be notified when the position becomes available. If a student is not accepted from the wait list into a program, they will be notified at least 30 days prior to the start date of the program.
Prospective students can now submit their application materials on-line. To submit your application electronically, please click the acceptd logo above. Please note that acceptd charges an additional $25 fee for this service.
