NMR.....just jokin' you on the "Tischer" reference!

I enjoyed reading about the actress and the show. I didn't know that a CAP student was in that show but that also is not my D's year/group.

RossJi...glad you were able to snag reservations for Little Shop. Sorry to miss you but I am not going to that particular performance.

In the third and fourth years at CAP21, the size of the class does go down because as you know, at Tisch, after two years of primary studio, you may apply to study in another studio and experience another approach. It is a benefit at the school if you want that variety in your training. Also, Playwrights has a MT workshop semester or year (forget which). As tempting as it was for my D to want to experience the great offerings at other studios (such as ETW), she just would never give up CAP21 to do it as she loves it too much. Some friends did want to study those studio's offerings and have chosen to as primary studio is done. Likewise, some friends from other studios applied to get into CAP21 for their second two years and some made it in. As you likely know, there are talented MT kids in other studios. So, now that some have chosen secondary studios, the class is smaller. I believe it is quite a bit smaller than you indicated. Also, as you know, several kids are currently cast and on leave.
