Overview:

The main focus of the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Auditions is to celebrate the nation’s finest student actors and the craft that enables them to create compelling and truthful characterizations. Beginning in 2005, the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Auditions will heighten the focus on craft in auditions by showcasing actors in two (2) two-person scenes and a monologue or song for candidates who advance to the final round of competition at the regional and national levels.
