The UConn Department of Dramatic Arts admits a class of nine
or ten MFA Acting students once every three years. Since our
current class of MFA actors began their training in August 2008,
the next group will not begin their classes until the fall semester
of 2011. We will begin receiving applications and auditioning
potential students early in the 2010-2011 academic year.
We have provided information about our audition procedure
below. Our next MFA acting class will enroll in fall of 2011.
Applicants in Acting are required to audition as part of
the admissions process. Auditions for the Fall 2011 Admission
to the M.F.A. programs may be arranged by the following:
1. In conjunction with the University/Resident Theatre Association
(U/RTA) National Unified Auditions, which will probably be
held in New York City, NY; Chicago, IL; and San Francisco,
CA in January 2011. The Department is a full member of U/RTA;
we screen and interview numerous actors through the National
Auditions each year. Formal participation in these auditions
requires application to U/RTA. For applications and further
details, contact the theatre faculty at your present school,
or write to U/RTA, Room 704, 1540 Broadway, New York, NY 10036.
2. By scheduling an appointment at the University of Connecticut
in Storrs. Activities will include audition presentations
(two contrasting monologues) and an interview. You must mail
or bring with you, a copy of your transcript, your professional
resume and head shot to the department prior to the audition.
To schedule an appointment please call the Department of Dramatic
Arts office at (860) 486-2281.
It is recommended that you DO NOT APPLY to the Graduate School
until you have completed the audition process, either on campus
or through the U/RTA auditions. This will save you the application
fee should you not be accepted into the program.
