<p>Dear JMaslin,</p>
<p>Just to clarify…</p>
<p>I believe we spoke about this in August as well.</p>
<p>The Hartt School focuses on teaching acting for the stage. There is one Acting For The Camera course to prepare students for commercial work. We do not discourage acting for the camera, and many of our graduates have been successful in the film industry (recent leading roles include The Wedding Crashers and The Producers). The Hartt School’s Actor Training and Musical Theatre programs offer senior showcases in NYC and LA for managers & casting agents. Also, Hartts Actor Training students spend 10 weeks of their junior year in England studying Shakespeare. Another unique aspect of Hartt’s Theatre Division is that both the Actor Training and Musical Theatre majors participate in a senior year residency with Tony Award-Winning Regional Theatres: Hartford Stage Company (Actor Training students) and Goodspeed Musicals (Musical Theatre students).</p>
<p>Please contact me directly if you have any further questions about Hartt’s program at 860.768.4148.</p>
