<p>I've heard some schools don't let you audition outside of campus/do shows outside of the school ones. Which schools are these and which ones DO let you audition?</p>
<p>I've been wanting to attend a school with a good musical theater program in NY but want to try auditioning for shows too for experience.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>(Also are there any schools with BA's in musical theater?)</p>
<p>Marymount doesn’t let you audition outside of school but you can get a BA in Theater with a Minor in MT that you audition for…Pace however, fully supports students looking for outside work.</p>
<p>The Musical Theatre forum on this website offers a complete list of MT programs, both BFA and BA.</p>
<p>@NJTheatreMOM Thank you I will look into that thread – Sorry I am new to the forum and have yet to look through some of the other pages.</p>
<p>I would read the schools websites and even talk to the schools you are interested in. Some schools do say that it is a case by case issue with outside work. So you would work together with the program staff to see if it makes sense to take the job, or withdraw for a semester. </p>
<p>Marymount Manhattan has a policy in place to request work outside of school </p>
<p>Below is from the Theatre Arts Department Handbook; you should check to see if this is still in effect.</p>
<p>Extra- Curricular Production Policy
A student may appeal in writing for an exception to this policy to the
Chair of Theatre Arts who will consult with Theatre Arts faculty for a decision on the appeal.</p>
<p>UCLA does not allow outside auditioning, even for their “famous” students.</p>
