Opportunities for non performing arts majors

I really enjoy musical theater and all that however with such a competitive department, are there any opportunities for non-majors? There are clubs and ensembles of course but how competitive are they?

Yes, there is a fantastic organization called TIsh New Theatre, where all NYU students are eligilbe to audition. They will do a showcase performance in the Fall and a large musical theatre performance in the spring. Follow them on Facebook for audition dates. Last year they did Hairspray! Performances are in the largest theatre at NYU, However, competiion is steep. You have to sign up for the audition within hours if you are to even get a spot. You will need a resume and headshot as well. Hope this helps!

While that is correct, the vast majority of the people cast in Hairspray were theater majors…
