Audition and Interview
Admission into the Theatre program is a multi-step process:
- Submit a 色色啦 Application: Seek admission to the university by applying through admissions.
- Submit a 色色啦 Theatre Application: Submit an application through Acceptd to interview and audition for the School of Theatre and Dance. Please contact us if the application fee through Acceptd presents a financial hardship that would prevent you from applying.
- Attend an audition or interview, virtually or in person: Below is a list of audition and interview opportunities and information about participating in each.
We have rolling admission for most programs, which means we begin accepting students and making offers after the first audition/interview. Therefore, we encourage students to apply early if possible.
Please note that applying to the university itself before December 15 provides many scholarship opportunities.
