My S was accepted to Shenandoah last year (chose a different program for logistical reasons) and I cannot say enough about the MT faculty we met there. As a HS student, my son was able to attend workshops presented by Jonathan and Matthew, and also sat in on classes/lessons on the campus. Their knowledge of the business of MT is extensive (check out CC postings by VoiceTeacher). We visited the campus twice. Due to scheduling, we never managed to see a musical, but we did see two plays (MT students played some of the leads) and we were very impressed. One of many positive things that struck me about the school, was its proximity to DC. While it’s situated in the Virginia mountains, the students have fairly easy access to DC. And perhaps because of its proximity to east coast/NYC, many professionals in the field come to do workshops/masterclasses on campus. I believe the students get excellent training at Shenandoah, and if things had been different, I know my S would have thrived there (other students from his audition cohort certainly are).
