Meet the leadership team behind the 2026 NSO show, Songs for a New World! Auditions open NEXT WEEK!

Class of 2026 takes their final bow! ✨

Congratulations to TAC-e’s newest graduates from the class of 2026! We are so proud of all of you, and we thank you for your hard work and endless dedication to making theatre magic at Penn. We wish you all success and JOY in the next chapter of your lives! 🎓♥️

IT’S OFFICIAL! TAC-e’s Fall 2026 NSO Show is Songs for a New World by Jason Robert Brown. This contemporary song cycle weaves characters and history together, illuminating the timelessness of self-discovery. The first musical from Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown, this moving collection of powerful songs examines life, love and the choices that we make.

The audition form will be available at the link in our bio on June 1. Tell us about yourself and submit a 1 to 1.5 minute cut of one of the songs provided within the audition form.

APPLICATIONS DUE TOMORROW! LINKS IN BIO!

Happy belated Hey Day to TAC-e’s rising seniors!!! Here’s to making your last year the best one yet ✨

LINKS TO APPLY IN OUR BIO!!! The leadership positions involve more of an application, but the prod staff positions are more low commitment and assigned based on interest!
