Full disclosure, I work for a theatre program with a Minor in Musical Theatre, and Major in Theatre (and we are a BA program). I’ve been trying to gauge the pros and cons of auditioning for acceptance into a program vs not auditioning.

What is the preference from parents and students on audition vs. non audition schools? Are you more likely to want to attend a school that requires an audition (musical or not) for acceptance?
