<p>SETC is held in the various states it covers and neighboring states can go to one designated state nearby, depending on where one lives. That is how it worked last year. One has to live or go to school in certain regions to be eligible. Check the site.</p>
<p>Midwest Theatre Auditions are held on Webster's campus - app. deadline is early December.</p>
<p>Webster usually has a page about it on their website - just search for MWTA, or Midwest Theatre Auditions.</p>
<p>Has anyone had any luck discovering the 2009 MWTA information? When googling, I can only find informatino for auditions in 2008. My daughter had heard they were auditioning earlier in February this year.</p>
<p>The 2009 dates are not up yet. Call the Webster theater dep't --someone there will know the dates for 2009. This was on the conservatory site: Lorraine LiCavoli, Associate

<p>If you are a college student who wants to attend setc you must pre-screen first. If you go to a southern school, or are from a southern state you screen in that state. If you are from a state not in the south go to the setc website to see which southern state you would screen in. Depending on the region it may be too late for this year. For example VA is the screening location for VA and most of the north east. The application date for VA was October 15, an d the screening auditions were this past weekend.</p>
<p>Dates for 2009 are February 20-22, 2009 at Webster.</p>
<p>Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. Listed among all the theatres, dinner theatres, repertory companies coming to MWTA to seek performers is CMU School of Drama. Why would they attend the auditions for summer stock?</p>
<p>You are talking about the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine. They pay you and love to put students up in their homes. And they feed you too. You will need some money but not a lot.</p>
<p>It is called the ogunquit playhouse. The pay you to perform and they also let you stay their home. Ogunquit Playhous is in Maine. They have equity actors too. Beautiful town.
Good luck to you!</p>
<p>Sharian, I don't know which post you are replying to. I have been to Ogunquit Playhouse many times and in fact, saw an outstanding production of Les Mis there this past fall. But that is not the only theater in Maine. For example, there is the Arundel Barn Playhouse and Maine State Theater.</p>
<p>Has anyone here heard of the acting internships at the 13th street repertory company in nyc?</p>
<p>I thought I would revive this topic as it seems it has died in recent posts.lol. Anyone have any advice or thoughts for first time college freshman auditioning? Is it worth the time and effort if it is a non paying gig? How do you know which theaters look better on a resume? Are the theaters that attend the same for both Strawhat and NETC? thanks in advance from any veteren actors who can offer a rookie advice. What about Pittsburgh CLO, has anyone ever worked there?</p>
<p>Mominpa1,
Some freshman do get cast for summer work. That being said, auditioning for paid summer work is very competitive just like everything else in this field. My D did not audition after her freshman year but instead did a community show locally, and worked at a dance store and kid’s theater camp. After her sophomore year, she auditioned at SETC and a local university’s repertory theatre. Her university offers the students going to SETC audition coaching with their monologues and songs. i realize this is not offered everywhere. D received 2 offers and accepted one where she was in 3 shows. She worked mid May through the Saturday before her classes started in late August. Students will have a variety of experiences with these auditions. If you get job offers, you have to consider multiple factors like whether room/board is provided, travel expenses, how many shows and what roles, what is the pay, are there other assignments (doing laundry for shows, waitressing at a dinner theater) does the season coincide with the university calendar, is vocal or dance training available?? How many shows per day? Do you get a day off? D will be auditioning this year again at SETC, at some local repertory theaters and auditions offered at her university. </p>
<p>In order to compare which theaters that will be at an audition, you have to go to the websites and do your own homework. Some will be the same, and others will not. Of course summer professional work is great to have on your resume, especially if you don’t have other professional theatre experience. My D did consult with her MT professor and other friends who are professionals in the field for advice on her offers. I think other students were also helpful in sharing their summer experiences to give her some perspective.<br>
Break a Leg to everyone auditioning for summer work!</p>
