It's a wonderful program. My daughter has worked with 2 of the MT professors there (in the summer) -- we think they're terrific. Also, many of their grads are working in the Washington DC theatre community -- we have some amazing theatres doing great work in the world of musicals like Signature Theatre and Arena Stage. Also, one grad just got cast in Billy Elliot on Broadway.
The Catholic University community and the Washington DC theatre community and beyond is in mourning tonight over the loss of the wonderful and unique Jane Pesci-Townsend, the MT Co-chair at Catholic after a brave fight with cancer. She continued to teach and direct until the last few weeks with her last bit of strength. "Never sing a ballad without hope" she would often say. God bless her and her family.
