DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE AND DANCE AUDITIONS

The Department of Theatre and Dance is pleased to announce our fall production workshop series.  While we will not be returning to the theatre this fall, we have created a series of workshops to help develop performance skills.  All workshop rehearsals will be held online in Canvas and Zoom formats.

Any student with limited access to resources such as internet or cameras, should note this on their audition form so the department can assist in acquiring resources for you to participate.

The department will require all MFA and BFA students to submit auditions for the fall productions. The department encourages all students to do your best to submit a vocal audition.  If you are very uncomfortable with this portion of the submission, you do not need to submit.

The following workshops will be presented, and require an  audition to enter the workshops:
