    Interview (Preparation, Spontaneity)

    Responds without hesitation; answers show prior research or preparation; maintains steady eye contact; expands on questions with relevant detail.

    Responds clearly; minor hesitations but answers complete; maintains eye contact most of the time.

    Responds adequately; relies on brief or general answers; occasional long pauses.

    Responses short or unclear; preparation limited; frequent pauses or off-topic comments.

    Does not prepare; unable to answer questions; disengaged or non-responsive.

    Portfolio (Creativity, Drawing Ability, 3D Art)

    Contains multiple original works in both 2D and 3D; demonstrates strong drawing accuracy (proportion, perspective, line quality) and effective 3D design (balance, scale, construction).

    Contains a variety of works with clear intent; drawing shows accurate proportion and perspective in most cases; 3D work structurally sound.

    Contains several works; some accuracy in drawing and 3D forms but inconsistent application.

    Few works included; limited accuracy in drawing or 3D construction; incomplete or weak execution.

    Portfolio missing key components; drawings lack proportion or perspective; 3D work structurally unsound or absent.

    Potential (Commitment, Teamwork, Following Directions)

    Always completes tasks; consistently supports peers; adapts to changes without prompting; follows multi-step directions immediately.

    Completes tasks on time; works well with peers; follows directions with minimal reminders.

    Completes most tasks; cooperative in group settings but sometimes needs reminders; occasionally misses details in directions.

    Inconsistent in task completion; reluctant to collaborate; requires repeated prompting to follow directions.

    Rarely completes tasks; resists collaboration; does not follow directions even with support.

    Skill & Craftsmanship (Detail, Precision, Execution)

    Projects are finished to a high level of accuracy: clean lines, careful assembly, and consistent attention to detail.

    Projects well-executed with mostly clean details; minor flaws present but overall precise.

    Projects meet basic requirements; some attention to detail but uneven execution.

    Projects show weak or rushed execution; noticeable inaccuracies in detail or construction.

    Projects incomplete or poorly made; major flaws in execution and accuracy.

    Artistic Interests (Scene Design, CAD, Lighting, Sound, Stage Management, Costuming)

    Demonstrates knowledge and skill in two or more areas; speaks or writes clearly about process, purpose, and tools.

    Demonstrates knowledge and skill in at least one area; able to explain intent and methods.

    Shows basic understanding of one or more areas; interest expressed but not consistently applied.

    Shows limited awareness of technical areas; difficulty describing roles or processes.

    No clear interest or understanding of theater technical areas.
