Hi! Thank you so much for the input; I’m sad to hear the program has changed, but this is very helpful information!
I’m generally looking for a school that has intensive training that will better my acting. But I also want a good community of students and teachers (I was attracted to calarts because I’d heard the community is very creative). I’d also like a place that would offer connections and opportunities (there’s not much available where I live unfortunately (Wisconsin). I’m a bit bummed that you’re unable to take classes from other departments, as I was hoping to take some writing classes, but ah well.
And thanks so much for the advice on the audition! I’ll make sure to look and pick something few people have done.
