Theatre Award
The theatre program at Fayetteville State University awards a number of yearly renewable awards
ranging from $250-$1000 to promising young theatre students. Awards are achieved by interview,
audition and/or portfolio review, and are available in both performance (acting) and production (scenic,
lighting, costume, and stage management) areas. In order to ensure the continuation of the stipend, a
student must stay in residence for four consecutive years at Fayetteville State University, maintain a 2.5
grade point average and be an integral part of the theatre program. Failure to meet any of these
requirements may result in termination of the award. Review of your progress will happen on a yearly
basis and will determine the continuation of the award. Please note that the awards are given on a
yearly basis and are contingent on appropriate funding for sustainability.

Audition/Portfolio Requirements
Actors : You should select, prepare and memorize two selections, each approximately sixty (60) seconds
in length, from plays with which you are familiar. One should be a role of the type you think best suits
you, while the other should display your skills in characterization. Make sure you do not exceed your
total time limit of two minutes.
Design/Tech Theatre Interviews: (costume, scenic, lighting design and stage management). You will be
asked to bring a portfolio (digital or hard copy) of your work. Please feel free to bring any renderings of
costumes or set designs, models, light plots, prompt books, production photographs, etc. If your
technical theatre experience has been largely or exclusively in construction, that is perfectly acceptable.
Most importantly, this is an opportunity for you to discuss your accomplishments, interests and goals,
and to ask questions about opportunities within our program.
