A practical map for navigating musical-theater college auditions

Amy Rogers Schwartzreich organizes the college musical-theater audition process into concrete stages, from choosing degree paths and summer intensives to preparing applications, prescreens, on-campus auditions, and dance calls. It also addresses the materials and decisions surrounding an audition—song selection, monologues, attire, headshots, résumés, coaching, and the outcomes of acceptance, waitlist, or rejection. Contributions and examples from program directors, faculty, students, parents, and Broadway professionals broaden the guide beyond a single perspective. The book’s emphasis is on making a multi-part admissions process more legible and helping applicants understand the checkpoints involved.
