Student FAQs
What is the schedule for the MARCAs event?
The MARCAs will take place this year on Friday, November 15th, & Saturday November 16th. The schedules for Acting/Directing, Design/Tech, and Dance all vary on the day. The schedules can be found on the Student Schedule page.
What is the structure for the Acting/Musical Theatre auditions?
Once students check in for their respective audition block, they will report to their assigned holding room
for a group warmup. After the group warmup, they will be guided backstage of Pfleeger Auditorium to be
on deck for their audition.
Later in the day, Callback Sheets will be posted for every school, informing students what
programs would like to speak with them at the College Fair. Please note that callbacks
are not performative callbacks. Additionally, regardless of callbacks, students are encouraged to speak
with program reps if they are interested in the school.
What should a student prepare for the Acting/Musical Theatre auditions?
For the student's audition, they should be prepared to slate (say your name and what you've prepared)
and perform two contrasting monologues for Acting or a monologue and song for Musical Theatre.
There is a two minute maximum for time slots, so both monologues - or song and monologue -
performed together should be within a two minute timeframe. If you are interested in both, please prepare
a monologue and song.
What is the structure for the Design/Tech interviews?
Once the students have completed setting up their design presentations in Boyd Auditorium, recruiters
will interview the students.

the Student Schedule page. Please note: construction is almost complete for the new dance studios at
Wilson Hall just off of Boyd Lobby. If these studios are complete by MARCAs, Dance auditions will occur
