Every theatre major is required to give a general audition every year at the beginning of the fall term. This should consist of two pieces, preferably one comic and one serious, or sufficiently different in character to show your versatility. They should be memorized and well rehearsed, so that you put your best foot forward. While the shows are not cast directly from this session, it does give the directors an overview of the new talent, and an assessment of the growth of our returning students. Growth is really what these auditions are about.
Any student enrolled in the university is eligible to participate in our productions.
It is NOT necessary to be a theatre major to audition. All shows for the entire semester are cast at the very beginning in a three-day period. This enables us to distribute opportunities to perform more equitably, and allows you to budget your time realistically. Majors are expected to audition for every show.
