Resume

If you do not have a prepared resume at the time of submission, please email the resume to balk@nautilusmusictheater.org
You must be signed in to add your resume.
Please submit a LETTER OF INTRODUCTION (in PDF format) from a colleague with whom you have recently worked. This might be your voice teacher or a college professor or a stage director or a fellow performer, etc; someone who can describe your working process and what they perceive your artistic strengths and weaknesses to be. It should be a true LETTER OF INTRODUCTION, not a regular letter of recommendation. Since we accept everyone on a "first-come, first-served" basis, this letter will not affect whether or not you get in. But it should provide us with information about you so that we can anticipate how best to serve you. PLEASE BE SURE TO CONVEY THIS DISTINCTION TO WHOMEVER YOU ARE ASKING TO WRITE THIS LETTER.

Please note: the company is not using the online letter of recommendation process. Your colleague will not receive a link through the system. You must either attach the letter here or share the contact information with your letter of introduction writer as to how to submit their note via email or postal mail (see below). Maximum number of documents permitted: 1

A $100 deposit due at the time of registration; the balance is due by July 17. The deposit is non- refundable unless the Institute is cancelled, in which case all funds paid will be refunded.

Your registration (if complete and accompanied by non-refundable deposit of $100) will be accepted once you submit this form. Incomplete registrations and those submitted without payment will be held in the order received, but will not be confirmed until missing items are submitted and your deposit is paid.

Payment may be made in a number of ways: (1) You may mail a check or money order (payable to "Nautilus") to Nautilus Music-Theater, 308 Prince St #190, St Paul MN 55101; or (2) You may pay through PayPal, or by credit card (service charge applies) over the phone; call us at 651-298-9913 for more information on this option, or if you prefer, we can call you.
A limited number of partial scholarships are available to all, although priority will be given to performers who identify with under-represented communities. Based on past Institute participation, that would include performers who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and other People Of Color), performers who have disabilities, and transgender performers. If you are interested in requesting a partial scholarship, please complete the following questions. The Institute staff will be in touch with you to discuss possible arrangements. Maximum number of selections permitted: 3
