Theater Weekend - October 2025

Theater Weekend will offer prospective performers, directors, playwrights, designers, technicians and stage managers a chance to compete for full- and partial-tuition scholarships by auditioning, presenting a design/management portfolio or submitting a play they have written. The program is in person in the fall semester and cannot be attended virtually. 

The October Theater Weekend will kick off Friday, October 3 with a meet and greet with CWRU faculty and students, followed by a workshop with theater faculty, as well as a tour of our new state-of-the-art theater, The Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center. On Saturday, October 4, students will audition and interview for the scholarships in the morning, participate in a Q&A with CWRU theater students on Saturday afternoon and attend the evening performance of the CWRU Department of Theater production of The Harvest, as well as a performance by IMPROVment, CWRU’s student improv troupe. 

If the October Theater Weekend does not work with your schedule, please consider our November Theater Weekend.

Note: CWRU is not able to offer campus housing to visiting students attending Theater Weekend. See the Visit CWRU page for information regarding local accommodations
