<p>I cant find the audition requirements on the website. Do they not tell you what they are until you’ve been invited?</p>
<p>If you go to this Wagner admissions page: <a href="http://www.wagner.edu/admissions/apply%5B/url%5D">http://www.wagner.edu/admissions/apply</a> you can find a link to the Theatre Audition Requirements. Here is what you will find when you get there:</p>

<p>What are appropriate dance/movement clothes for young men in auditions? Is it likely they'll be given a chance to change clothes? DS is not a stick, not heavy, just average. Sweats seem best for dancing, but hardly appropriate presentation for monologues/singing. He's wearing dark slacks and a button-up shirt otherwise. Thanks!</p>
<p>Most young men during my D's auditions this past fall wore black/dark colored jazz pants with a fitted t-shirt or tank top style top (white or black). Most dance stores have these in stock. Most schools will advise against wearing sweats for the actual dance audition (they are ok for warm ups).</p>
<p>Thanks MTGM!! We can do that. :) He'll need at least one pair of jazz pants for next year anyway. ;) There's a part of me that can't believe how close this all is. We live in the hills and he doesn't drive (I can't afford the insurance), so when he's at school he'll be able to take dance classes etc.</p>
