Theatre Auditions
As a DeSales Theatre candidate, you must apply and be accepted academically and artistically.
Academic acceptance into the university does not guarantee your artistic acceptance into the Theatre program.
To be accepted artistically into the Theatre Program and to be eligible for a talent scholarship, you must audition and interview with our Theatre faculty. You can register to audition any time after starting your application to DeSales.
