Entrance Audition and Interview (EAI) Days 2025-2026
Join us on campus to learn more about our programs, meet our faculty, and be considered for talent awards!
In previous years, the Department of Theatre and Dance conducted its annual Entrance Audition and Interview Day (formerly titled Talent Award Day) in January. Beginning this year, we are excited to offer two opportunities for students to audition or submit a portfolio for review – one in the fall (early November) and one in the winter (mid-January).
This is a chance for incoming freshmen and transfer students to audition or submit a portfolio to be considered for department talent awards. Students must intend to apply to the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø in order to participate. Interested students may attend in-person or submit materials virtually.
*While an audition/portfolio review is not required for admission into the Theatre program, auditions are required for admission into the Dance program.
