Summer theatre programs at Interlochen offer students the opportunity to study with some of the top artists and educators in the field, from all over the United States.

An applicant may audition for more than one theatre program, but must indicate their preferences on the application form. Because the audition requirements for musical theatre programs are different from the repertory theatre program, applicants who wish to be considered for both should submit their auditions on separate tapes or DVDs, with the appropriate labels.

Applicants who apply by February 1 will be notified of admission decisions no later than April 1. Late applicants will be notified on a rolling basis, if openings remain. Please note that High School Theatre programs reach full enrollment quickly so early application is strongly encouraged.
