NYU to hold acting auditions with UCA's Shakespeare theatre

The NYU Tisch School of the Arts in February will hold auditions at UCA for its prestigious graduate acting program in conjunction with auditions for the Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre‘s internships.

NYU’s graduate acting program is arguably the best in the nation. Only 18 students are accepted into the program each year, and auditions normally are reserved for large American cities. This will be the first time that NYU will hold its acting auditions in Conway.

The auditions will take place on Feb. 16, when auditions already are scheduled for the Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre’s internship program.

All acting students in Arkansas are invited to the auditions.

The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre, based at UCA’s College of Fine Arts and Communication, is the only professional Shakespeare Festival in Arkansas.
