What's The Process

Audition Process

BCTC does not publish a separate admission audition or prescreen for the Theatre AFA

Incoming students interested in the Theatre AFA must contact program coordinator Tim Davis for a meeting about the program overview and expectations

Post-Enrollment

The theatre auditions page lists casting calls for BCTC productions; these are open to students, faculty, and staff and are not admission auditions
