Student Success Series Opportunities

Additional productions have been selected to be produced as part of our student success series.

The purpose of the SSS will be to provide additional opportunities for students who are not working on Centerstage series shows.  

In order to be eligible to be cast in an Student Success Series show, theatre majors must have auditioned in the CenterStage series shows for that semester, unless they are first-year (new or transfer) students. Any student who is offered a CSS role but does not accept it is not eligible to participate in an SSS production.   

MTSU Theatre Audition Policy is available here
