Relevé on the Rooftop 2025 Audition Form

Relevé on the Rooftop is not during the academic year and has different guidelines and requirements than other NPD theater season performances.

• Relevé on the Rooftop falls outside of Student Company requirements and therefore all fees are due by all participants.
• Attendance at auditions on May 29 is required for any amount of participation including the ability to perform the work of guest choreographers in residence in August.

• Dancers are expected to enroll in summer classes to maintain technique.
