Performance Programs (Acting, Directing, Musical Theatre) Auditions for the Performance Programs can only be scheduled on the designated dates, outlined below. Individual appointments are not available. Our Audition Coordinator will follow up with you once we have received your Request Form. Production Programs (Design/Tech, Stage Management) We schedule interviews and portfolio reviews on an individual basis in Saint Louis. We also schedule interviews and portfolio reviews during the Unified Auditions in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Our Audition Coordinator will follow up with you once we have received your Request Form. We prefer to meet you in person and encourage you to visit us on campus. Virtual interview options are available in instances of extenuating circumstances. Our Audition Coordinator can discuss virtual options after you have completed your application to the university.

We schedule interviews individually to allow ample time to review the portfolio and to discuss your experience and career goals. Stage Management Candidates: Applicants to the stage management program must present a portfolio that should include: › A one-page resume that has references and contact information › A curated sample of production work through all phases of production (prep, rehearsals, tech, previews, performances). Please compile this in a way makes sense to you – this can be by production or by category, as long as it is organized and clearly laid out. › Your materials should showcase your best work and give an idea of the scope of shows you have worked on. It is okay to pull a cast list from one production, a calendar from another, blocking sheets from a scene in class, etc. › Please remove any personal information such as cast email addresses and phone numbers. Please do not include any forms (such as emergency forms) that have personal or sensitive information. › Photos of productions or of yourself in action are great! › Letters of recommendation are fine to include but are not required.
