Aspiring grad students in theatre arts are taking advantage of a new opportunity to interview or audition with several universities in one place this Fall. LiNK, a collaboration between SETC and USITT, will be held November 14-15 at the Atlanta Airport Hilton.
LiNK is an early, affordable interview and networking event for grad school candidates and advanced degree programs in acting/directing, management, and all areas of theatrical design and technology.
The event caters to designers and technicians as well as actors and directors, at a cost of only $40 per candidate and $125 per school. LiNK allows candidates to submit portfolios and resumes online and schedule brief interviews with participating schools in advance, saving time and money.

Over two dozen schools are represented, including the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, Louisiana Tech, Rutgers University, the University of Montana, University of Georgia, Purdue University, Virginia Tech, University of Alabama, and more.
