WHEN: January 17 – 20, 2020
WHERE: Hilton Midtown – 1335 6th Ave New York, NY
REGISTRATION: NOW OPEN

The Audition: Graduate School Auditions for participating MFA programs In a single day, present your acting audition or design portfolio to more than a dozen MFA programs at once–and attend callback interviews that same afternoon.

*Satellite Auditions:  The Satellite Auditions are open to all acting candidates registered for the URTAs, and operate in much the same way (you can even perform the same audition!). Your Satellite Audition will not be scheduled on the same day as your URTA Audition, to avoid conflicts with any potential callback interviews.

View the 2020 Candidate Handbook for more information on how to prepare.
