| I looked back at that post and I saw that you are correct we did not advance 10 freshman. That was from acting majors and MT majors, not 10 from Musical Theatre. If you look back you will also see that year was special becasue of former students returning, which is rare, and many talented BA students auditioning. Since then the average number of students not advanced is zero to three.
With the feedback and national recognition we are receiving from the New York casting directors and agents, the University of Arizona is now among the top Musical Theatre schools in the country according to the response from our Showcase. We had 7 students get agents. Many were offerred jobs from producers and artistic directors in atendence. All were told to contact agents when they arrive in New York.
If you study our curriculum, you will see we offer an excellent program. Also study the professional background of our faculty compared to other schools. We have many students playing roles on Broadway and national tours. One of our alums just got a lead in the new Broadway show SHREK.
I am putting the "cut" policy at our school to rest. The year in question was an exception not the norm. |
