If you are not posted you go home and are not accepted. Some things former students had to say about Point Park were not appealing and after further research and talking to other's we found Point Park was not for us. It is almost impossible to get into a show at Point Park. There is a lot of favoritism and politics that play a role in what you can do. There are normally 3 shows a semester and most schools only let students in one show a semester not PP they double cast and let their favorites in more than one show a semester making it so hard for other's to be cast. If you're good enough to get into the school you're good enough to be cast. By not being cast you are not getting the same education as other's who are for your 150,000 tuition over 4 yrs. Yes, the real world is like this too but you don't have to pay 150,000 to get doors slammed in your face and if one audition doesn't work out you can go to many more. We were told that some students private voice teachers sat in on auditions and other's were not invited & of course those teaches chose their students to be cast. Like I said very political.
