Bored?

Ever watch a commercial where a spokesperson starts by asking you questions?

 

Ever found yourself nodding "yes," even though the spokesperson cannot see you?

 

Ever consider graduate school?

 

If you answered "yes," to any of these questions (ESPECIALLY THE THIRD ONE!) then U/RTA (University/Resident Theatre Association) may be what you are looking for. U/RTA holds annual auditions in NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco.  These are not just for those looking to further their acting training, but anyone looking to increase their skill and knowledge in the admin, directing, stage management, or design fields as well.
