Auditions

For students interested in all areas of the Theatre Arts at Lees-McRae, we offer scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 that require an audition or interview. Performance-based merit scholarships may be combined with other academic merit scholarships. Entrance into the BFA in Musical Theatre program is by audition only.

Beyond the Classroom

While earning your degree, you’ll complete an internship to test your skills and learn in the field. In addition, you’ll travel to the Southeastern Theatre Conference to develop industry connections and learn about potential opportunities in the future. If you’re looking for an extra opportunity to learn, consider enrolling in one of the travel courses to New York City or England.
