| Yes, PSU has a showcase for their BFA in MT students in NYC each spring.
There are various ways to get an agent. However, a senior showcase is one way to have early exposure to many agents and casting directors and is a possible transition into the work world and a chance at gaining representation. Not all who are in showcase will garner agent representation but it is good exposure and a chance for that to happen and a transition from college to representation to hopefully auditions and casting. A showcase is seen as beneficial to many or as one positive way to possibly gain representation, but it isn't the only way. It really is a plus situation as all to gain, nothing to lose. However, those who are not in showcases still have ways to get agents, exposure or auditions. Showcases are not a guarantee but increase the odds a bit in that transition stage. |
