Auditions

URI Theatre productions are open to any URI student so whether you’re a theatre major or an engineering major, we look forward to seeing you at our auditions. You can receive 1-3 credits if you are cast so call 874-5921 in late August to sign up for an audition or come to the second floor Theatre Office in the Fine Arts Center and just outside the Main Office, we’ll post the audition sheets. We are producing two Main stage shows and one student-directed show this fall. Here are the specific audition requirements for each main stage production.
