What Is Carnegie Mellon Pre-College Drama?
CMU Drama offers six weeks of conservatory-style training in Acting, Music Theater, or Design/Production. Performance students develop audition repertoire and skills rather than mounting a production; Design/Production students develop a portfolio.
The 2027 session runs June 26-August 7. Applicants must be current high-school sophomores or juniors and at least 16 by June 26. No admission audition is required. The application includes a transcript, required recommendation and essays. Confirm the current form's detailed instructions when it opens.
