Auditions and portfolio reviews are neither required nor reviewed for students interested in TAPS. Any materials sent directly to the department will be returned unread and we will not forward materials to the Admissions Office on your behalf.  

If you are a prospective Brown student planning to visit campus during the Spring 2025 semester and would like to speak with someone in the TAPS department and tour our performance facilities, please send an email to taps@brown.edu. Our student Administrative Assistant, Sophia Decherney, will respond to open a discussion as to what might fit both your and her schedules. If you are unable to visit campus but are interested in learning more about the Theatre Arts & Performance Studies (TAPS) Department we invite you to follow this link to view the TAPS virtual tour.

We are unable to provide tours on a walk-in basis. 

Thank you for your interest in TAPS!

All inquiries about admissions, including the application process and financial aid, should be directed to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
