<p>This may not be much help – but you may want to look at the schools on the “big list” on the “FAQ Link” that indicate they they are non-auditioned programs. Look at the curriculum at the different schools, see which looks the most interesting to you – and the campus environment in which you could be happy. If you have questions after doing that post them on CC – you may get more specific, quick answers that way. Even schools with late deadlines are close to the end of the 2008/ 2009 admissions cycle. </p>
<p>I used to teach at Plymouth State University – a BA auditioned musical theatre program in NH. I have hired Plymouth grads to work for me at two summer theatres while they were still students or after graduation. An audition is required for this school – but I believe they still have on-campus audition dates… and are a rolling admissions school.

<p>If I remember correctly you had a pretty well balanced list of schools – with CNU as a school on your list? (it sounds as if you decided not to apply there?) I believe that an audition is not required to begin in the program at CNU… you can start as a general BA student and then audition for the MT option. From the CNU website:</p>
<p>“The Theater Program believes in professional training within a liberal arts environment. Our program provides great opportunities for our students to practice the art of theater at a very high level. However, due to our specific academic and artistic “tracks” we do not require an audition or portfolio review for acceptance.” [Christopher</a> Newport University | Theater CNU | Becoming a Theater Major](<a href=“http://theater.cnu.edu/theatermajor.html]Christopher”>http://theater.cnu.edu/theatermajor.html)</p>
<p>This is a hard time – waiting until April to hear from schools… hang in there
