Master List of "Unified Audition" Schools

Thanks for putting this together. It seems like the foreign schools only do CH. Last year I heard that many were Unified-adjacent in NYC.

Thanks @afterp89 ! @nyermom - some of the schools marked CH may also be at the NY weekend so don’t take this as final - if you’re interested in a school, check to make sure and please update the list if you find out they will also be in NY or LA. There was a 2016 thread on CH Unifieds so I used that to make a starting list of schools which attended. There wasn’t the same easy info for LA and NY.

Just my two cents, but I don’t think listing “unified” or “non-Unified” matters, if the purpose of the list is to know who is typically in the city offering auditions at the same time. But, listing whether they offer MT/Acting/both does, as many are interested in only one or both. Many “MT” majors like to audition for both to increase their chances of getting into a program, and they often can take similar curriculum, and they may actually have two different suites and it’s two separate auditions if they offer both. Conversely, if it’s just acting, the student may need to go to a different location to audition for MT: such as OCU (only acting) and Florida State (only acting), or CCM (only acting in LA, but MT other two cities).

The “unified”, as I understood, means it’s on the website and it represents a “consortium” or steering committee about dates, locations, etc. and those schools have consistently attended for years. I’m not trying to make you change what you started, but thinking about list usefulness for a prospective attendee.

Adding James Madison University which will be in NYC auditioning for Theatre & Musical Theatre January 18 and January 19…

You note that Syracuse is at Unifieds for Acting but my daughter has a MT audition in Chicago - anyone else to verify? She did pass a prescreen so I’m not sure it they will offer walk-ins, but she is scheduled. . . at least she better be, I don’t think I could do one more potentially snowy Northeast/Midwest trip in the next few months (coming from someone who lives in the snowy Northeast/Midwest) ! #-o

OCU (Oklahoma City University) is acting only. You must audition on campus for MT.

@MTBackstagemom If your daughter has an appt in Chicago for MT then she is all set. Do not worry about this list. This looks like it is compiled from previous years and is not at all set in stone.

This list is a work in progress to be maintained as more recent information is determined. Please update as needed.

^ I put the “update” instructions on the list itself! :slight_smile:

.

Late to this party, but if the “Evansville University” listed on here is the same as University of Evansville, the info was incorrect. My apologies if there’s some other college called “Evansville University” that I’m unaware of.

Thanks @“Jamieand Winthrop” ! If anyone is attending NY Unifieds, please provide updates if this list missed any programs - and update walk-in info if possible. The more accurate the list stays the more useful it is.

Millikin Missouri State, CH, Non-Unified, ? Umm, one of these things is not like the other and in two different states. Millikin’s Chicago auditons are the Saturday and Sunday before the start of Unifieds. Chicago Auditions 2019
Where:

Chicago Academy for the Arts
1010 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60642
When:

Saturday, February 2 Afternoon Session Only (1 pm - 5 pm)

Auditions and Interviews

Millikin will hold auditions and interviews for the following programs:

Acting
Musical Theatre
Stage Management
Theatre Administration
Design and Production

Do you know where to get a list of all schools holding auditions during or near NYC unifieds?

@katzenbogen - Unfortunately, there is no such list. You need to contact each individual school.

@katzenbogen - the list above was created from notes from last year’s Unifieds so it’s as close to a complete list as anyone here knows!

Sorry @katzenbogen - was in a hurry. There’s no official list which is why this was started. If you look at the list above any school that has a “NY” after it was auditioning applicants at last year’s NY Unifieds weekend. The reason the list says “Unified or non” is because most of those schools aren’t true “Unified” schools, they just audition in NY (or CH or LA) that same week/end. This list is crowd sourced from CC feedback, not official, but it’s better than nothing and if everyone who comes back from NY / CH / LA makes updates to reflect this year’s auditions it’ll be a better list to pass on to the class of 2024. :slight_smile:

@katzenbogen when your child receives their invitation to audition, they will be directed to a website that shows the audition slots. For NYC, for example, it will list the same dates (or roughly, during the three days next weekend) at Pearl Studios (which is Unified location) and the majority of the others will be (unless it’s changed from last year) at Ripley Grier Studios (which is a block away). I can only speak for the ones my d applied to last year, but none of hers were anywhere else, other than on-campus (NYU and Pace) during that time frame.

Thank you so much @stagedoormama , @CaMom13 , and @DramaQueen219

Thanks for the list from last year, truly helpful! Question: Upon arriving, is there one central place that provides info and maps to all audition rooms, as well as info for all schools represented and who does walk-ins for this 2019 audition date (specifically for NY)?
