<p>I do know of people who apply early for StrawHat and do not get a slot, so early application is not an automatic “in” … however, they do fill slots and send notifications to applicants on a rolling basis. NETC does not notify any applicants until AFTER they application deadline. </p>
<p>For SETC all of the state level screenings are in the fall. If you do not go to a school in the south you need to look up and see what southern state screens the applicants from your state… for example in VA we screen applicants from the north east. </p>
<p>Outdoor Drama Auditions do grant slots on a first come first served basis. UPTA appears to as well, but UPTA is really more for graduating seniors since you must indicate that you are available for full-time year round work.</p>
