University Theatre Auditions

Audition requirements and procedures vary from production to production.  Auditions are announced in TAI classes and advertised through CM Life (student newspaper).  Additional information can be found on the bulletin board outside the TID Offices (Moore 133) and the callboard by the Green Room, or by contacting the director of each production.  Information can also be obtained by calling the office of the Department of Communication and Dramatic Arts (989-774-3177). 

Scripts will be on reserve at the Park Library Reserve Desk. Please read the scripts before auditions.

Auditions for University Theatre productions are open to all CMU students regardless of major, minor or year in school.

Applications for crew assignments can be found on the board outside the Theatre, Interpretation and Dance offices (Moore 133).
