It can’t affect you negatively, so you’re not really risking much by contacting him/her. At schools like NYU, for example, professors in the performing arts departments can definitely be influential in the decision-making process. I’m not sure how influential this Penn professor may be, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to try! Good luck!
