Hello all you MT students and parents!

I’ve been reading the threads and still have a couple of questions about MMC:


I’ve heard from a parent that visited the campus with her D (after she was accepted - this about two years ago…2011?) and discovered that her D couldn’t stand the school atmosphere. She visited a few classes (non MT) and spoke with a few kids. One class was full of very disrespectful kids who talked throughout the class. They spoke to one of the only kids who seemed respectful and attentive afterwards and she admitted is was a problem in many of her classes. That student said she might leave MMC as it was not what she was expecting/hoping for.


We all know there are instances of bad behavior, etc. Was this a typical classroom experience at MMC? Our D is interested in MMC for Musical Theater. But it’s certainly important to have a good education outside of the theater.


Any thoughts on the MT program? Do the kids get many chances to perform?.. we have heard they do not.
Are the kids in MT allowed or encouraged to seek work on Broadway while in school?
How would you rank this program in NYC with Pace and NYU? Pros and cons of MMC?


If there are any other threads that answer these questions please feel free to direct me there.

Thanks for all your help and good luck to all of you in the field!
