TRAINING ACTORS | CULTIVATING ARTISTS
WELCOME TO UCI MFA ACTING
AUDITIONS 2024
Initial Steps
In order to schedule an audition with us, you must first apply to the program.
Our deadline for application is January 9th, 2024.
Once we have received your completed online application, and your $135 application fee ($155 for international applicants), the Drama Office will contact you to confirm receipt of your application and set up a personal audition time.
Sometime after that audition, you will be notified if you have been invited to callbacks.
These callbacks will be held in Irvine February 17th & 18th, 2024. Should you be called back, and if you are seriously interested in attending the graduate acting program at UC Irvine, please hold these dates.
We will be in attendance at the U/RTA Auditions, but we only hold further interviews with a small portion of those we see in this context. The only way to guarantee a more direct interaction is through the application process listed above.
Dates/Locations
Final dates are still being determined, and will be updated soon.
