Audition for RU Theatre

Upcoming Audition Day: February 18th, 2023

Visit us on an audition day or schedule an individual audition to join RU Theatre and qualify for potential scholarships. Scholarships are available for any students who would like to participate in Rochester University theatrical productions, regardless of major. Reach out to theatre@rochesteru.edu to get started!

All theatre majors require an audition and/or interview. For admission and scholarship consideration, please see below.

  • Acting: Present two contrasting monologues
  • Musical Theatre: Present one monologue and a musical theatre song
  • Technical Theatre/Directing: Present a portfolio/pictures/resume
  • Stage and Theatre Management: Present a stage management promptbook/resume

All auditions include a short interview period with TM faculty and staff

Students are welcome to showcase more than one skill/interest, even if it doesn’t fall into their desired major (i.e. Someone auditioning for the Musical Theatre program could present a lighting design portfolio in addition to their monologue and song).
