The 2025/2026 Musical Theater Common Prescreen Guide
At PUA, all schools in attendance have agreed to abide by the Musical Theatre Common Prescreen (MTCP) guidelines! The rules and requriments for the MTCP can be found by clicking the button below. You can refer to our Frequently Asked Questions about the MTCP and how that translates into what to upload to Acceptd for the media review materials and for the audition requirements.
It is also important to remember that you will be auditioning consortium-style at PUA. That means that you will audition for all schools at once. To keep PUA running on time, your audition should be no longer than FIVE (5) minutes in total. It will be timed and the timer will start from the first note of your song or the first beat or word of your monologue. Therefore, it is very important to time your pieces before you come to PUA. Due to the need to keep the auditions on schedule, your audition will end when the timer hits the FIVE (5) minute mark.
