Registration Information

TO APPLY: Please see the summer admissions page for information regarding required Summer Application, application fee ($25), photo, monologue requirements and information on scheduling an audition appointment. Students requesting a New York City audition must submit all application materials to ACTeen, 35 West 45th St., 6th floor, New York, NY, 10036 before a personal interview audition can be scheduled. Contact Rita Litton, ACTeen Director, at 212-391-5915 with any questions. (Alumni do not have to re-interview).

AUDITION INTERVIEWS are held weekday afternoons or Saturdays.
Prospective students who cannot travel to New York City because they live outside the tri-state area are “Long Distant Applicants” and should refer to ACTeen’s long distance applicant information page for additional requirements to their submitted application.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS: Students should prepare one or two contemporary monologues from any source. Monologues should be one to two minutes in length and memorized. Students interested in our Musical Theater Workshop should also prepare 16 bars of a musical theater solo (students must perform without piano accompaniment).

ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION: Students accepted into the summer program are formally notified by mail within two weeks of their audition date.

IF ACCEPTED: Students must return the completed registration form, a deposit of 50% (half) of total tuition, and a $25 non-refundable application fee (if unpaid) within two weeks of acceptance letter to secure placement. Cash, personal checks, or money orders are acceptable. (NO CREDIT CARDS) (Please make checks payable to “ACTeen Inc.”). Please do not send cash through the mail.

BALANCES DUE: For all August Academy students BALANCE OF TUITION IS DUE MAY 1. Balances received after May 1 will lose early registration discounts or special program rates! Students with balances outstanding after June 1 will forfeit deposit and reservation for programs.

LATE REGISTRATION:  Students whose registration forms are received after May 1 must pay tuition in full. All workshops fill in order of deposits received, and we regret we cannot hold a space for any student without timely payment of tuition deposit.

CANCELLATION POLICY: August Academy cancellation requests must be received in writing, signed by a parent or guardian, and arrive by May 1 to receive a full tuition refund (less non-refundable application fee). Cancellation requests received after May 1 but before May 15th receive a 25% (of total tuition) refund. No refunds or credits after May 15 or after classes have begun for any reason. This policy is firm and necessary to maintain our small class composition.

Note: Tuition paid after June 15 must be paid by bank check, money order, or cash.
Note: Note: We have a $20 fee for returned checks, which require an immediate cash or money order replacement.
