<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">We will be holding local auditions for the Case Western Reserve University/ Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program on January 17 and 18, 2015. Deadline
for applications is January 12, 2015. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Major features of the program include its generous financial package with a three-year
<u>full tuition waiver</u>, a $13,500.00 per year stipend (a combined value of over $53,000.00/yr) and membership in Actors Equity Association upon successful completion of the program. This is followed by a highly regarded New York City Industry Showcase directed
by a major NYC Casting Director. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The third year of training allows students to appear in at least one Cleveland Play House (CPH) production as well as experience understudy and workshop
opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">As we only take eight students every other year, the program is ideal for those who want the kind of personal attention that is impossible to get at schools
with larger numbers. We look for students with initiative, versatility, curiosity, passion, and the drive to maintain a sustained career in a highly competitive art form.
