  • Straw Hat Auditions for summer stock companies
  • NETC New England Theatre Conference; auditions/interviews for both summer stock and regular season
  • SETC South Eastern Theatre Conference: auditions in fall and spring for both summer stock and regular season. Big dance audition in spring.
  • URTA the University/Resident Theatre Association is the main audition/interview forum for graduate schools, and they also hold central auditions for some resident theatres. They hold February auditions in NYC, Chicago, and LA which many grad schools' representatives attend.
