Theater Season Auditions | University of Portland

Theater Season Auditions

 

Auditions for Fall 2024 will be announced soon!

 

Please reach out to Andy Christensen with any questions.

 

General Information

The first night is general auditions, which consists of a 3-minute individual audition (see below for info). You can sign up for a time at this link. The second and optional third nights are callbacks. Look for an email from the stage manager to learn if you have been called back and for the callback schedule. 

Everyone auditioning for a show must audition on the first night. If you have an unavoidable conflict, like a class, please email the director or stage manager and we will try to make arrangements. 

What You Need to Do

  • If you are a theater major with a performance emphasis you need to prepare a 3 minute acting audition. This is usually a slate with two contrasting monologues.
  • If you are a non-major, a minor (or major not focusing in performance), or it is your first semester at UP, you do not have to prepare an audition. Reach out to the Stage Manager for a monologue chosen by the director. 
  • If we're doing a musical, you also need to prepare 32 bars from one song (NOT from the musical we're doing) to be considered for casting in the musical.
  • Please reference your calendars and syllabi so you can accurately fill out the conflicts section of the audition form. It's important we know if you have conflicts that would prevent you from being in a particular production.
