General Audition Information

The Department of Fine and Performing Arts holds auditions for actors, singers and dancers for its Mainstage and Underground Theatre productions throughout the academic year.

On average, the DFPA holds eight theatre productions a year. These range from two week productions to twelve week productions. If a student is cast in a twelve week production, the department will be enroll the student in THTR 323 - Rehearsal and Performance. This one-credit class accounts for the time a student spends in rehearsals and performances for that particular production.

Incoming freshmen have the opportunity to audition for competitive scholarships.

Current students looking for more information regarding upcoming auditions are encouraged to join the THTR PROGRAM Sakai site. 

Functioning much like the class-specific Sakai spaces, the THTR PROGRAM Sakai is the best place to find any announcements or information regarding upcoming opportunities. Please email dfpamc@luc.edu to be added to the site.
