Step 2: Share your creative work and complete an interview.
There are many options available for you including:
At one of our admission events
During an individual campus visit
Over Zoom
Or submit materials through our online platform Accept'd.
If you are a current Miami student changing majors or relocating from the Regionals, jump right to step 2.
Creative Examples and Interview Preparation
At your interview, you will present two different examples of your creative work. These may include:
a monologue or song
plays, stories, or other creative writing
scenic design sketches, models, renderings
choreography notations
costume design sketches, renderings
light plots and/or images of lighting you've designed
photos of other art you've created (drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, etc.)
biographies of characters you've played on the stage
character journals or process journals you've kept
photos of set pieces, props or costumes you built
drafting or mechanical drawing (hand or CAD)
parts of prompt book
sound recordings of original compositions or effect manipulation
essays or research papers on theatre or drama, or any class project relating to theatre
movies you've made, web pages you've built
If you are a performer, please show us only one monologue or song, and another example of creative work from the list above. If you plan to sing, bring accompaniment on your phone. We'll have a Bluetooth speaker available.
If you are a designer, technician, or stage manager, please assemble a portfolio containing at least two different examples of creative work from the list above.
If you do everything, great! Bring in two examples of what you do best, or what makes you the most proud. Ultimately, you want to show us the bounds of your unique creative talents.
Be prepared to talk about your work, the choices you made preparing it, and what excites you about it.
We strongly encourage you to share your creative work with us live on campus, however, if you prefer to submit electronically, we have also teamed up with Acceptd, a web-based service that allows you to submit interview materials to us digitally.
If you need to mail in your materials, please send only photocopies or photos of original artwork. Video portfolios and/or taped monologues are also acceptable.
