Theatre Performance Opportunities
Any currently enrolled CU student is eligible to audition for theatre productions at CU. In addition to the department’s full season of plays and musicals, students can also enroll, audition, or apply for other programs.
Production Season
We offer a wide range of productions. We train our students in genres from classical Greek to Shakespeare to contemporary and everything in between. To view past, current, and upcoming season productions, see our Production Season page. To participate in our mainstage events, see Auditions for Theatre Productions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Auditions for theatre season productions are typically held a week or so prior to the start of fall and spring semesters. The productions in the upcoming semester are cast based on those auditions. You can find detailed information regarding upcoming theatre auditions here.
We cast the right person for the right role, regardless of degree track. All BFA in Acting students are expected to audition for the season, but that does not guarantee casting. All students must earn the right to be in a show.
