An intentional pathway to college acceptance. Your audition follows the Musical Theatre Common App package as outlined in GetAcceptd — songs, monologue, and the DC Unifieds Dance Call, all in one professional, structured experience.
How it works: Register through our registration portal first. You’ll receive a code to submit through GetAcceptd starting July 1st.
Five structured stages — from your first run-through with the accompanist to callbacks. Every step is designed so you walk into the room confident and leave seen.
Before auditions, students meet with a professional accompanist for a dedicated session. You'll review your cuts, set tempos, and walk through musical direction so you enter the audition room ready — not guessing what the piano is about to do.
Students perform their audition package — songs and a monologue — in a professional, structured environment. You're seen by multiple college programs in one centralized location, designed to run efficiently and respectfully so every student presents their best work.
Musical theatre students participate in the DC Unifieds Dance Call, choosing either the Mover track (for limited training) or the Dancer track (for advanced skills). You'll learn choreography, perform in small groups for college faculty, and be evaluated at the appropriate level. Select students may be invited for additional movement evaluation.
Throughout the event, students attend college-led workshops offering direct interaction with faculty, insight into each program's training style, and additional opportunities to be seen beyond the audition room. This is where the conversation goes from "audition" to "fit."
Callbacks are communicated through Acceptd and directly by participating schools, with schedules released overnight. Each college manages its own process, and additional callbacks may occur after the event. Monitor your communications closely throughout the weekend — and after.
Bring these every day, in a binder, organized. Faculty will ask for materials in the moment — you don't want to be the student fumbling.
From check-in to callback, here's exactly when you'll be on, when you'll prepare, and when you'll get to breathe.
Pick up your badge, audition packet, and time slots. Walk the college fair before things start.
Broadway guest speaker, an overview of what the next three days look like, and Q&A with the team.
Group warm-up led by a music director. Optional but strongly recommended — wakes the voice up properly.
Your assigned slot. Both songs and your monologue, in front of faculty from your selected programs.
Choose two from over twenty offerings — acting through song, audition technique, classical text, and more.
Combo taught live, then performed in small groups. Faculty watch from the front. Pace yourself.
Invite-only callbacks from individual programs, plus a tech showcase for design and stage management students.
One-on-one time with programs that want to see more. Bring everything; you may be asked for new material.
Our roster of attending college programs is being finalized — here’s what to expect.
Faculty hear technically perfect singers all day. What they remember is the student who landed a single line so honestly the room got quiet.
Don't pick a 30-year-old character song because the belt is impressive. Choose pieces that match where you actually are as a person and an actor.
How you greet the monitor, how you wait, how you walk in — faculty hear about all of it. Be the student the program manager wants to advocate for.
How a student recovers from a stumble tells faculty more than a flawless run-through. Don't apologize, don't restart unless asked. Stay in it.
If faculty give you an adjustment in the room, try it immediately and fully. They're seeing if you can take a note — that's literally the job.
Have a third song and a second monologue prepped. Being able to pivot when faculty want to see more is one of the strongest impressions you can make.
Lock in your spot for the Musical Theatre track. Slots fill program-by-program — register early to get the schools you want.
