The conservatory faculty places value on having a variety of life experiences in the student body. The age of the conservatory students ranges from 18 to the late 50's with the average age in the 30's. But we work with each individual to decide their next step after graduation, whether it's university, or an acting training program, or going straight into the professional world. We encourage most conservatory graduates to finish their undergraduate degrees. Personally, I think it's a wise thing to do.
Production is an integral part of the conservatory program.
There is a student acted and directed one-act play program each spring. Auditions upcoming Each fall the conservatory students produce and tour a children's show to local Bay Area venues. In addition, there are student written, directed and performed brown bag lunch theatre productions. The audition is an all day process. For more information about auditions, or guidelines in selecting and preparing audition monologues, call the conservatory at 949-7053.
