Just like our Callboards outside our main Theatre Office, you can find all of the information you need about advising, auditions, TPP, upcoming events, finals, faculty contacts, and much more right here!  Please check back often, because this site will be updated frequently with new events and information.

If you have any questions, please contact Ashley Preston O'Toole in the Theatre Department at aotoole@salemstate.edu. 

Monday, February 10, 2025
Jury timeslots will be scheduled from 8:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm-4:30pm.

ABOUT BFA JURIES:

1. All students who are interested in joining/remaining in the Salem State University BFA Theatre Arts program must "Jury" (audition or do a portfolio review) every semester.

2. All BFA students must complete at least six Juries in order to graduate with a BFA degree; once a BFA student has completed the requisite six Juries, they must continue to jury each semester until they graduate.

3. All First Year students who would like to graduate with a BFA degree must Jury each semester, even if they did a BFA Audition or Portfolio review prior to being accepted at Salem State University.

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP FOR JURIES: Friday, January 31, 2025

BFA Jury Timeslots will be sent out via SSU email on Monday, February 3, 2025.

NOTES:

1. BFA Juries for all concentrations will be held on the same day. If a student has a conflicting class during their BFA Jury Time Slot, the Theatre Office will provide an absence letter to the student to send to their professor. Students should please provide information about any potential conflicts on the online BFA Jury Sign-Up Form.

2. A student’s TPP and GPA are contributing factors to their standing in all BFA programs. BFA candidates must maintain a 3.0 GPA in their Theatre classes and be actively involved in Theatre Department productions/pass all of their Theatre Participation courses to be in the BFA program.

3. All students applying for the BFA Playwrighting Program are required to email a PDF of their 10-page one-act play (or 10-page writing sample from a full-length play) to aotoole@salemstate.edu by Monday, February 3 at 4:30pm. The faculty will read the submission prior to the Jury, so you will discuss the play/writing sample at your Jury.

4. For the full Jury requirements for each concentration, please refer to the Virtual Callboards BFA Juries page.

If you have read all of the information on the BFA Juries Virtual Callboards page and still have questions, please contact aotoole@salemstate.edu.
