FTC 2-Year College Division
For attendees enrolled in 2-year colleges, FTC is a place to find their next step toward their degree. There are many opportunities for these attendees including transfer auditions, College Fair, workshops, and more!
​
NOTE: We understand that 2-year State Colleges occupy a special, hybrid position amongst our Conference attendees when it comes to registration. Some 2-year Colleges are able to bring their students as a group (and thus function more like one of our High School or Youth organizations) while others encourage their students to attend "on their own" (in which case, they function as "Individual Attendees"). A good rule of thumb when registering is to think about who is paying the bill. If one payment will be made covering multiple attendees, then register as a "State College." However, if each student attendee is paying for themself, then register as "Individual Attendees."
​
For questions regarding 2-year State Colleges (students or faculty) please email State Colleges Chair Alex Kanter at alex@flatheatre.org
About the 2-Year College Division
College Transfer Auditions (see fees below)
The college audition process is open to all Florida Senior high school students and 2-year state college students. There will be representatives from colleges, universities, and conservatories from around the country who attend and are actively recruiting excellent talent that Florida is known for.
​
Students are able to audition in either "Acting," "Musical Theatre," or "Tech/Design" categories. Click HERE for audition guidelines.

​
Individual slots for these auditions fill first come-first served based on submission of the Audition Registration Forms (ARFs), which are additional forms separate from your initial Conference Registration. If a student does not submit an ARF by 5:00 pm on October 9, 2026, or if all slots are filled before then, the student will not be able to audition for the colleges at this year's Conference. Slots fill fast, so please get your Conference Registrations and ARFs in ASAP.
​
ARF forms will be emailed to students who have completed their Conference Registration and indicated they are participating in the Senior Auditions (or Tech Interviews). These forms must be completed and submitted back to our audition coordinator by 5:00 pm on October 9, 2026.
​
For more information about college auditions, please contact brad@flatheatre.org.
​​
College Fair
Students will have access to dozens of in-state and out-of-state schools. They will be able to gather information on schools, speak with college reps, or even participate in audition callbacks. There are a variety of post-secondary options to choose from. We invite you to check out additional vendors and companies providing all sorts of theatrical products and services as well.
​
Workshops​
As members of FTC, the students in your organization will have access to a variety of workshops presented expert instructors, special guests, vendors, colleges, and professionals. As a college or university student you may even apply to present one of your own. To submit your Workshop Proposal, Click Here.
