| Multiple schools. This is why many decide to go to Unifieds. It gives them the opportunity to audition for many schools on one trip. | |

| Just wondering if anyone that was at Unifieds in NY last year could comment on the auditions for the following schools:
CCM
Hartt
Ithaca
Otterbein
Point Park
PSU
I am going to call the schools about how much time they will take but I thought it would also be a good idea to ask someone who has experienced it first hand. These are all the schools that are left after we set up some on campus auditions. I wanted to see if it was feasible to do the majority of these schools at Unifieds. I saw that Ithaca is there an extra day. I have also read some threads that said their audition was long but that PSU and Otterbein were pretty quick. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. I can still get to some of these on campus if I set them up now but if I can limit the travel that would be great. My daughter is currently in 3 shows and 2 choirs so it's tough. I know that alot of you have the same problem so I thought I would ask.
Thanks. | |

| I talked to Ithaca and they want kids to set aside about four hours at Unifieds for the audition. Otterbein's audition (singing, dancing and acting) takes about 15 minutes. There is no big "dance call" for Otterbein; a musical theater student is on hand to teach the auditioner a few combinations, and the entire proceeding is videotaped for doctorjohn to take back to Westerville. Wish I knew more, but this is all I have to offer!  | |

| Thanks for the response. Confirms what I read in other posts. If I get any further info from the other schools themselves I will post it back here. | |

| My son will be at the Chicago Unified to present his portfolio for Stage Management in Feb. Does anyone know if the Palmer House gives group rates for those staying there for the Unifieds? The quote from the reservation desk at the hotel was $170 per night.
Also is there anyone else out there applying for technical theatre? I would love to connect with those people. | |

| Judy- I am sorry that I can't answer your question, but have a tip for finding cheap hotel rates. I have recently started using yahoo farechase for both flights and hotels and have been impressed. They search multiple travel sites to find the best rate, including expedia, travelocity etc.
Good Luck! | |

| JudyL -- as far as applying for Techinical Theatre you may want to post on the "Arts Major" board if you have not already.

| 4 hours for Ithaca?!
That seems like a lot when your trying to get 5 or 6 schools' auditions into 2 days :/
Anyone know about how long Point Park's audition at Uni's should last? Mine is at 10:00 on Saturday and I have UArts at 10:40. Should I reschedule one of them? | |

| JudyL,
When we went to the unifieds in 2006 the Palmer House did have a rate for the Unifieds. So try back and ask about the Unified audition rate. It seems like it was $109 or $119. We paid extra for concierge floor which was nice because you could always run up there and get snacks, water, fruit, etc. Most times there was not time for lunch. But even if you don't stay on the concierge floor it is worth it to stay at The Palmer House. Or at least we thought so. | |

| Wow, that's a bargain compared with the rate for the Crowne Plaza in New York, where NY Unifieds are held. Even with the discount, it's easily twice that. | |

| I have stayed at the Park79 Hotel in NYC. It is reasonably priced... clean... nice bedding...comfortable... the rooms are small, but nice.
Some rooms have shared bathrooms, but most have bathrooms in the room... I would suggest asking for a room with a bathroom.
In NYC you basically have to get used to the fact that the rooms will be smaller than you are used to in most American hotels, and the prices will be higher than you would pay for a much swanker room outside of NYC. | |
