Capilano Musical Theatre letter of intent

Capilano's Musical Theatre diploma has its own letter of intent about why the applicant wants to study MUTH, their theatre background, career goals and training. The School of Performing Arts schedules an audition after the university application. Unlike the Acting for Stage and Screen audition, this one includes a song and a taught group dance alongside a monologue and interview.

Writing format

Letter of intent before the audition, plus a recommendation and photograph
