WORKSHOPS AND SESSIONS

URTA Continuing Education sessions are led by URTA staff, distinguished faculty from member and non-member schools, industry professionals, and artistic leaders in all areas of theatre. Sessions are offered for students, emerging artists, and professional faculty and range from informational sessions, to participatory workshops, to panel discussions. You’ll find URTA continuing education sessions at the URTA Auditions and Interviews, as well as many other national and regional events and conferences.

URTA can also develop programming specific to your needs. Whether it’s leading a session or workshop for your students, or coordinating a professional panel on particular topics for your theatre conference, URTA’s network of professional resources is unmatched.

Continuing Education / Career Outreach sessions throughout the year:

URTA is pleased to offer career outreach sessions to intern/apprentice groups and undergraduate classes for free or minimal cost. Discussion sessions can be tailored to the needs of the group, but most often focus on de-mystifying the grad school process: discussing if/when one might consider graduate school, how to research grad programs, preparing for the audition/interview process, and more. We also discuss career development opportunities outside grad school, and other early-career advice. The discussion sessions can take place virtually for free, or in-person (for the cost of travel, if necessary). More specialized sessions can be arranged, such graduate school audition prep workshops.

If you are interested in learning more, or booking a career outreach session for your undergrad students or intern/apprentice group, please email TheURTAs@URTA.com.
