Theatre + Dance Audition Requirements

Anderson University Theatre and Dance participates in the Musical Theatre Common Prescreen (this is optional, not requirement). In cooperation with the MTCP, we ask prospective students auditioning for our BFA Musical Theatre program to present these materials for their audition:

• SONG SELECTION: Select one of the 2-song options below. Each song should be 16-32 measures in length.
  • One song written before 1970 (musical theater, Golden Age, pop, hip-hop, folk, rock, rap, soul, country, punk, etc.).
  • One song written after 1970 (musical theater, pop, hip-hop, folk, rock, rap, soul, country, punk, etc.). This song should contrast the style of the first selection.

OR

• • One musical theater song from any time period.
  • One song of your choice from any time period and in any style that best suits you (musical theater, pop, hip-hop, folk, rock, rap, soul, country, punk, etc.). This song should contrast the style of the first selection.
• MONOLOGUE: One monologue from a published (or written by a professional writer) play. A professional writer is someone whose plays have been produced, but may not have been professionally published.
• DANCE: No dance audition required. On campus-auditions will include a dance placement class.
