| Emerson
My son Scott graduated from Emerson with a BFA in Musical Theater in 2007. For him, it was the best place to learn and grow. Boston is a great place to go to school. The Castle was an amazing experience. He visited 9 countries. I was no longer afraid for him to travel anywhere.
Emerson encourages actors to be smart, independent and ready for when those breaks happen. Emerson students are absolutely driven but also some of the nicest people you will ever meet. When not cast in a main stage production sophomore year, he auditioned and performed in 2 plays at Harvard.
The teachers are all working professionals, as well as educators, and are of very high quality. When Scott played Sebastian in Twelfth Night on tour and had his photo in the paper, the picture was passed around at the faculty meeting and everyone "qvelled" saying this is what it's all about.
Since graduation, he has been on a national tour and performed in multiple musicals and plays around the country. He is a proud Equity member on 2 callbacks as I write this. He also "plays a waiter" at a local restaurant. We are very happy with the education he received.
