| I would be happy to supply what knowledge I can about WSU. My D is currently a freshman so I will be learning as she progresses.
Yes, they did 'Ragtime' last year as well as 'Blithe Spirit', 'The Elephant', 'As You Like it', and 'Annie Get Your Gun'. This year they are doing 'The Story', 'Grease', 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof', 'The ThreePenny Opera', 'Aida', and I am hearing rumors of another musical but am not sure. On their website, you will find a history of past productions that might be of interest.
My D felt welcome there from the first moment on audition day. She visited several times and the staff was very warm and helpful. She has only been there a few weeks now but is extremely happy and busy. I know it is a good 'fit' for her. The students seem to be a close knit group at least from her freshman point of view. We were impressed with the classes she is taking and the overall program. Last year we saw 'Annie Get Your Gun' there and were very impressed with the performance. It was wonderful and I've seen the show multiple times in many venues.
My D is not a local, so I can't supply too much information on the surrounding areas other than the university is on the outskirts of the city of Dayton, Ohio and borders the suburb of Fairborn.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance or if you have more specific questions. |
