Unifieds Audition Monologues
Shared audition days for many colleges
At the Unifieds, many colleges see applicants in one place over a few days each winter. There is no single brief: each school sets its own pieces and time limits.
Check before choosing your pieces
- Check the brief of every school you will audition for at the Unifieds; pieces and time limits differ.
- Book your slot through each school’s own process.
- Some schools hold separate URTA auditions, which are a different event.
- This summary does not certify any school’s audition brief; no matching preset is applied.
