TAPS Auditions
Auditions are open to all current University of Chicago students, regardless of major. Every quarter is a new opportunity to get involved and start learning, making friends, and making art!
Auditioning isn't the only way to get involved. The whole experience is open to you, from the first draft to the closing curtain. We're looking for managers, designers, administrative support, and eager arts enthusiasts.
For more information about opportunities please check back closer to the start of the Autumn quarter for updates.
