<p>Here, I just posted a topic about this, but I’ll post it in the reply. There are clips from Marymount’s musical, “Thoroughly Modern Millie” this year on YouTube. If you’ll notice, it’s not ONLY top notch, but the majority of the leads (and cast members in general) were freshmen and sophomores. That really says something about the school and it’s progression in my opinion. </p>
<p>It’s an IMMENSELY up and coming program, and the connections at the school are great too. The director of one of the fall mainstages, “As You Like It” by William Shakespeare, is actually the head of the New Globe Theatre in NYC, AND a prof. at Marymount. His name is Jon Basil.</p>
<p>On top of that, the other mainstage’s director is a credited Hollywood actor named Paul Lazar (IMDb him if you’d like, I’m SURE you remember him from “Silence of the Lambs”). </p>
<p>All in all, the school is great, and VERY up and coming. If anyone has ANY questions, I’m a BFA Acting major there currently (I’m going to be a sophomore in the fall, and I was actually cast in “As You Like It” for the fall), and I’ll tell you anything you’d like to know, good or bad. I mean, EVERY school has their strengths and weaknesses, and I’d be happy to talk about many of them, even in the musical theatre program, as MANY of my friends are MT’s. Thanks, and let me know what you think of the Millie videos too :)</p>
