<p>The nasty part of me wants to say “Hey, you knew that this is how NYU Tisch works, they choose a studio for you and assign you.”</p>
<p>But really this is kind of part of any acting training. I remember that when I was an undergrad I was in a program that required a lot of improv work, and at first my attitude was “Why do I have to do all this, I am not interested in improv, I’m interested in Shakespeare!” But now I am glad that I was required to take these courses that otherwise I wouldn’t have signed up for. Because I gained a lot of new skills and learned about an approach to theatre that before I didn’t know anything about. And it completely changed my approach to ALL theatre, including Shakespeare!</p>
<p>I think you are going to have the same experience in “Playwrights Horizon”. You are going to be exposed to a new way of approaching theatre, and you will get more skills to add to your “bag of tricks”. This will just give you more ways of dealing with the wide diversity of acting challenges that you will encounter in your career.</p>
<p>Everyone seems to say that NYU Tisch does an INCREDIBLE job of putting folks into the studio that is best for them. They really take their time and carefully consider these placements (people have been complaining about the time they take!!!). They saw something in you that really made them say “this student will really benefit from Playwrights Horizon”. Maybe its because they saw you were lacking something that they knew Playwrights Horizon could give you. Or maybe they saw that Playwrights Horizon would work well with your strengths.</p>
