MARCAs is the largest college audition event in the Northeast, connecting top Theatre and Dance programs with talented students from NJ, PA, NY, DE, MD, VA & WVA
Last year, we welcomed over 50 schools to recruit for their incoming first-year classes through MARCAS. These programs range from BA to BFA to Professional Studios. Over 200 students from 6 states attended with the majority going on to attend performing arts colleges with over $250,000 in scholarships awarded in a single day. Students can register themselves individually for $40, or teachers can register a student group (6 or more) for $25 per student.
Please contact us at midatlanticauditions@gmail.com if any students need financial assistance to attend. It is crucial that High School students from all ranges of socio-economic backgrounds have the opportunity to access Higher Education in the Arts.
Do not let your students miss out on this life-changing audition event!
