Admissions & Auditions: At the undergraduate level, admission is a two-part process. In order for a student to be considered for admission as a Theatre major, he or she must apply to the University and also complete an audition. Auditions are held in Dallas and at select sites around the United States. Reservations are required for both national and Dallas auditions. First-year and transfer Theatre candidates should prepare two contrasting monologues from contemporary plays and one song. (No accompanist is provided or required.) The total time should not exceed five (5) minutes. Auditions will also include an interview. Candidates interested in design, directing, playwriting, or other areas of theatre should be prepared to discuss and demonstrate their abilities in those areas in addition to presenting their auditions. All auditions will be videotaped.

Admission to the B.F.A. program is highly selective. For information on undergraduate auditions, click here.
