MTA Auditions & Scholarships
MTA Auditions & Scholarships – Formerly Junior/Senior College & University Auditions
Junior and senior high school students planning to pursue theatre in college are invited to participate in auditions for college and university programs at the MTA State Festival. Auditions take place on Thursday of the festival. Students meet with college representatives throughout the festival at the college fair booths. Refer to the MTA Auditions and Scholarships document for registration, rules, and resources for auditions.
Senior students who plan to major in theatre at an in-state college or university are eligible to apply and audition for the MTA Scholarship. One deserving high school senior will be awarded a $500 scholarship.
The Acceptd Platform for the MTA Auditions and Scholarships is now open! Visit: app.getacceptd.com/mississippitheatre.
Students who wish to audition at MTA 2025 should complete this online application by December 20, 2024. Students should create an account (if they do not already have one) using their personal email address to avoid problems with school firewalls.
The MTA Auditions & Scholarship Document will provide a complete list of required information for the application as well as the guidelines for the audition/interview process.
Seniors who wish to apply for the $500 MTA Scholarship should check YES when prompted and answer a series of questions about their involvement in theatre.
The deadline for online applications is DECEMBER 20, 2024
MTA will also be hosting workshops during MTA 2025. If you would be interested in hosting a workshop, please sign up for this as well.
If you are interested in serving as an adjudicator for one of the high school regional festivals, please send an email to Lindsey Eubanks. Thank you for all that you are doing during this unique time in theatre history. If you have any questions or ideas, please let us know.
