High School versus Performing Arts High School

No, no, no…no offense taken at all. I was agreeing that there are some with very arrogant attitudes and all I was saying is that it is not fair for either auditioners to assume or people in general to assume that the arrogance has anything to do with where the student went to school. Hopefully they will assess the student for their resume, academic grades and work ethic and talent.

Having said that, I do think that students from well known PA high schools are held to a higher standard because they are expected to have a better insight to the whole process and the “theater world” than the student who has not had the exposure that the PA hs students have. They are expected to know how to dress for an audition, what to sing, what type of monologue to recite, whereas a student who has not had access to all of that training at school, may be given a little bit of a break for not knowing.
