<p>Thanks to all the helpful responses I am compiling a list of schools that seem as if they might be a good fit for my daughter. Wichita has come up as a suggestion and I have viewed their site. It looks like a wonderful program, but I'm still not clear whetner it is an auditioned or non-auditioned program. It seems if I'm reading correctly that it is a non-auditioned program for participation in the MT major, but very much auditioned for potential scholarship opportunities. </p>
<p>Can anyone shed some light on this for me?</p>
<p>Wichita State used to be non-auditioned for admission, with auditions for scholarships only. My understanding is that it changed, fairly recently, to an audition requirement for admission to the BFA MT program (though I think it’s hard to spot this on the website).
Here’s a link to the “Program Auditions” page:
[THE</a> SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS - Wichita State University](<a href=“http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=FA_PERFORMINGARTS&p=/pa_auditions/]THE”>http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=FA_PERFORMINGARTS&p=/pa_auditions/)
Note that the fall audition date is coming up this weekend, November 9! The spring date is listed as “TBA”.
Wichita State does have a terrific program, and the opportunities in the community for extracurricular theatre involvement are very good indeed.</p>
