Theatre Auditions and Interviews
All Department of Theatre applicants must be academically admitted into the University AND artistically admitted into their program.
Pre-Screen Video Submission for Acting and Musical Theatre Applicants
A pre-screen video submission is required for acting and musical theatre applicants and is NOT required for contemporary theatre making, performance and creative industries or theatre production applicants.
Acting and musical theatre applicants must complete the pre-screening process in order to be considered for an in-person audition. You must have an application for academic admittance on file BEFORE submitting pre-screen materials.

Portfolio Submission and Audition Information for Performance and Creative Industries Applicants
Once you have submitted your application for admission, performance and creative industries (PCI) applicants are required to submit a portfolio via Point Park's Acceptd homepage. All PCI applicants are required to submit a portfolio and must have a University application for academic admittance on file before submitting their portfolio.
Portfolio Requirements:
- Performance/Training Résumé (should highlight any leadership)
- Up to 5 samples of additional media are welcome, but are not required. Examples could be clips from your podcasts, YouTube channels, Instagram reels, etc.
Live audition slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their portfolio materials as soon as possible, as audition slots may fill up quickly. Please note that due to the number of students who audition each year for the Conservatory, we do not provide feedback on individual audition results.
All PCI auditions have a $115 artistic review fee, due at the time of your submission.
Conservatory applicants can be considered for an audition fee waiver. A waiver is based upon an applicant’s financial circumstances; i.e, you have received or are eligible to receive a College Board (SAT) or NACAC application fee waiver, you are Federal Pell Grant eligible (based upon your FAFSA) or your current financial situation stipulates that the audition fee would present a hardship.
