<p>Terri, I know who you mean. When I saw In The Heights, she went on that performance as the understudy for Nina and was very good in the role. Was she in Tisch and was she in school while doing the shows or did she take leaves during the shows?</p>
<p>My D’s friends in Tisch who have been cast in shows, have had to take a leave during the shows. Some have returned and some never returned. The only friend I know of who could stay in NYU while doing a show (she was in the most recent Spring Awakening cast), was not in Tisch but rather in CAS. Another friend, when cast in an Off Broadway production, had to switch from Tisch to Gallatin. It would be hard to be in TISCH while in a show of that nature. Most in Tisch have had to leave to take on these types of shows.</p>
