Obviously it will vary from school to school. My D’19 was required to audition for every theatre production to keep her scholarship freshman year. So she was in 3 or 4 things? At her school, it was a LOT throughout the year. One play practiced 6 nights a week.

Sophomore year she wanted a break from that and missed singing, so she did choir which was a fairly small commitment of 2 hours a week. Next year, she is not planning on choir and will audition for theatre only if something catches her fancy. (She has also moved from theatre major, to minor, to just taking the theatre classes she wants. College is for figuring out what you really want…)

So, yes, I would agree with your idea of picking one, for now and see how it goes- especially as a freshman. You can always switch it up other years. I will say she met most of her friend group through theatre so it was worth it.
