In-Person Theater Scholarship Weekend—Spring 2026

Case Western Reserve University's In-Person Theater Scholarship 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 In-Person weekend will kick off on the evening of Friday, February 20, with a meet and greet with CWRU faculty and students, followed by a workshop with theater faculty, as well as a tour of our brand new theater, The Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center. On Saturday, February 21, students will audition and interview for scholarships in the morning, participate in a Q&A with CWRU theater students on Saturday afternoon and attend the CWRU Department of Theater production of Mercury on Saturday evening, as well as a performance by IMPROVment, CWRU’s student improv troupe. 

Note: CWRU is not able to offer campus housing to visiting students attending the in-person weekend. See the Visit CWRU page for information regarding local accommodations.
