| For some reason, despite being a CC veteran, I didn't discover this thread until tonight -- two days AFTER my D's Otterbein audition! While it would have been great to see it earlier, Doctorjohn certainly gave us a lot of excellent information both elsewhere on CC and during our initial visit to Otterbein last summer.
Not having seen this thread (and perhaps not having read the "Spelling Bee" program carefully enough), I didn't know of the Otterbein-Spelling Bee connection. We saw the show a couple of weekends ago and enjoyed it thoroughly. It's charming, funny, touching, and a terrific piece of ensemble work -- definitely a show in the Avenue Q mold.
Finally, I wanted to copy here what I just posted on the Audition Information thread:
If anyone is still heading to Otterbein for an audition, I just want to let you know that -- based on our experience this past weekend -- you can expect a complete class act. The level of organization, friendliness, information, and general care and feeding (yes, there were lunch tickets!) of both students and parents was absolutely first-rate. I won't say it was a stress-free environment -- after all, the kids are auditioning for a wonderful MT program that will be admitting only four girls and four boys as freshmen -- but Doctorjohn and Otterbein are to be deeply congratulated on the thoughtfulness and professionalism that they bring to this process. Thank you!! |
