What is the best advice for a successful college audition process? Start early!

We are excited to invite you to the PUAuditions, LLC, the Re-Imagined Audition of 2025!   We are pleased to announce that PUA will be held at the amazing facilities of the Pittsburgh CLO this year IN PERSON OCT 10-13th, 2025, VIRTUAL OCT 25-26th, 2025.

We are open for Registration at our website : https://www.pittsburghunifiedsauditions.com/   Scholarships are available, application can be accessed on our website.   We will Open the ACCEPTD portal on May 1, where you can start to upload your materials.  Schools will get access to the materials on Oct 3rd.   If you want to get a headstart on recording your materials to be accessed for PUA, we will be using the Common Prescreen requirements.

Welcome to our Acceptd portal. We are a collaborative network of industry professionals with years of experience in the college audition field who come together to offer you and your family a cost-effective, efficient, and kinder way to audition for College Theater programs. We are offering auditions for Musical Theater, Acting, and portfolio review for Tech/Design. We also invite rising Juniors to attend Mock Auditions and Masterclasses!

Together with input from Program Directors, Coaches, Students, and Parents who have first-hand experience of how expensive, stressful, and strenuous auditions can be, we are offering an applicant-friendly process so you can present the most prepared and confident version of you for a successful audition experience.

We know how fast the travel, audition, and application fees add up. Part of our mission is to provide a lower-cost audition process.  We also believe being seen earlier by theater programs will yield a better overall financial package if a match is made before the scholarships from the University are dolled out to other committed applicants from other majors. We require our schools to give us Application Fee Waivers and Discounts to have access to the candidate profiles.

In order to ensure that your audition materials are ready to be seen by the Programs participating at Pittsburgh Unifieds, we have added a complimentary service that takes the form of a unique process of assessing the Media you will be using throughout the Audition Process, also known as "prescreens".  We require all applicants (seniors and juniors, In person and Virtual, MT, Acting and Tech) to upload their materials by Sept 1 to be guaranteed personalized feedback.  If you download your materials after Sept 1, your materials are NOT guaranteed this complimentary service...we will try but we can not guaranteed it..... but are still due by October 3rd.  After your materials are seen by our panel,  we will either accept your materials through to the audition process where you will then choose and audition time, or you will receive feedback to improve your performance and rethink your audition materials for possible re-submission.  If your materials are not accepted to the next step of auditions, you will not be charged a Pittsburgh Unified Fee. The only fee you will incur is a $50 one-time accepted fee.  You may opt to submit new materials, before October 9th by emailing us with this request. We are offering this complimentary service because we believe it is important for you to present your full potential to the programs and want to help you achieve that.

Together, we have created a portal with all the information and technology that you will need to stay on track throughout your process. Students who register for the Live Pittsburgh Unified Audition Experience will audition consortium style for the attending schools and may receive callbacks/interviews on Sunday-Monday/invitations to campus/virtual callbacks or possible offers from these schools all in the same weekend. Students who register VIRTUALLY will audition from home, using ACCEPTD AUDITION ROOM.   Whether you attend in person or virtually ALL SCHOOLS WILL SEE ALL STUDENTS and ALL AUDITIONS ARE RECORDED to be used as reference materials. 

JUNIOR candidates are invited to participate in the Friday Student Mixer at the Even Hotel, all the Masterclasses throughout the weekend, and the Junior Masterclass run by MTCA on Sunday from 9-12 at the CLO as well as the MOCK AUDITIONS on Sunday from noon-6.  (Juniors may leave after their audition on Sunday!).

We are excited to help you meet amazing programs with fantastic faculty.  We hope that you find this process helpful, less stressful and value added!   We are here to help you in any way that we can!      We are TEAM PUA.
