The annual Florida Theatre Conference encompasses a comprehensive week of performances and opportunities for theatre artists. Over four days, FTC presents the High School, Theatre for Youth, Middle School, and Community Theatre play festivals, and the DraMature and Inclusion festival showcases. Over 65 workshops are offered, with focus areas including singing, acting, dance, stage combat, directing, playwriting, and all technical areas of the stage.

High School and College transfer students may audition for over fifty colleges, universities and conservatories from around the nation, and have an opportunity to meet one on one with college representatives in the FTC College Fair.

College transfer auditions are held on Thursday, high school tech audition interviews are held on Thursday, and high school acting/musical theatre auditions are held on Friday.

College and University students may audition for advancement to the Southeastern Theatre Conference spring festival, where professional theatres from around the nation are hiring.

Each year, Texas Thespians host a state-wide festival which includes over 8,000 delegates. This year, due to COVID-19, they will be hosting the festival over four Saturdays they are calling “Super Saturdays.”

Our charge is to foster creativity and a love for the arts. Whether as a performer, an entrepreneur, or a patron, students at BTW are challenged to dream and dream big.

Each year seniors at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts apply to and are accepted at some of the most prestigious colleges, universities and conservatories in the United States. In the last three years, 100% of BTW seniors graduate from high school and an incredible 98% go onto enroll in college.

This year’s Mid-Atlantic Regional College Theatre & Dance Auditions conference will draw High School Juniors and Seniors from the Mid-Atlantic Region to audition for college recruiters representing Theatre and Dance programs from across the country. Last year, over 30 recruiting colleges saw over 100 students audition for Acting, Musical Theatre, Design-Tech, and Dance programs and MARCAS hopes to continue growing this year! The MARCAS will be moving to a virtual format for Fall 2020. Even though we cannot meet in person, we want to make sure that students from the Mid-Atlantic region still get their chance to showcase their talents for recruiters from across the country.

The International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) is a professional association of the finest and most successful modeling and talent training centers in the world. Since 1987, IMTA has become the recognized leader in putting new faces in front of the people whose business it is to identify the next rising star or supermodel. An impressive, and constantly growing, list of people who were first seen at IMTA conventions are now seen in magazines, TV, movies and fashion shows.

IMTA produces multiple week-long conventions, including one in New York and Los Angeles, consisting of modeling, acting, singing, songwriting and dancing competitions. Hundreds of fashion and talent agents, personal managers, casting directors, network representatives and music producers judge IMTA competitions while searching for new models, actors, singers and dancers to work in the fashion and entertainment industries.

Eligible students will showcase their skills at the 27th Annual North Texas Drama Auditions. This year North Texas Drama Auditions is excited to create a virtual event that will still do what NTDA is set up to do: connect students with programs from across Texas and the nation and support students in moving on to the next steps of their creative journey in the theatre!  North Texas Drama Auditions this year will be an opportunity for students to learn to use technology that is becoming standard in the theatre industry.

Each applicant will submit a self-tape (video audition) to their teacher or coach which will be forwarded to Collin Theatre Center staff. The video audition must be in either .MP4 or .MOV format. Actors and Actor/Singers will have 90 seconds to perform their selections. Timing begins after their introduction. Tech/Design students will have 4 minutes to showcase their talent.

The participating schools and universities will be responsible for reaching out to individual actors for callbacks and interviews starting January 18, 2021.

Each year, the URTA Auditions and Interviews bring together faculty from dozens of top training programs and hundreds of prospective MFA candidates in all areas of theatre including acting, design and technology, directing, stage management and arts leadership. Candidates have the opportunity to be seen, in one place (New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles), by recruiters from among our 43 member universities, as well as other prominent institutions. Our Satellite Auditions program affords acting candidates the chance to meet additional, non-member training programs, including many international schools, as well as producing companies looking to offer candidates professional summer employment or apprenticeships.
