Auditions – Department of Theatre & Dance

HOW TO AUDITION/INTERVIEW AND APPLY AS A NEW STUDENT (visit our audition website here)

All programs housed in the Department of Theatre and Dance (excluding Arts, Entertainment and Media Management) require an audition or interview for acceptance.

The Department of Theatre and Dance partners with Acceptd so you can view application, audition and interview detail, submit your application and materials online, and schedule the location and date of your audition/interview. The department accepts a limited number of new students each year so you can learn, work and perform with a select group of students under the guidance of our world-class faculty.

Step One: Submit your university application for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point at University of Wisconsin Online Application (All students must be accepted to UW-Stevens Point prior to being accepted into the Department of Theatre and Dance.)

Step Two: Apply to the Department of Theatre and Dance

Use GetAcceptd ($10 application fee – this is submitted to and required by GetAcceptd, not UWSP)

Applications will open for Fall 2026 on August 1, 2026.
