<p>(Posted on a different thread, but I noticed your questions and thought this might help)<br>
We visited UNCSA last week (daughter accepted there, and at three other BFA programs). After our visit, daughter is 100% sold on the UNCSA program. It was incredible. The professionalism amongst the students was so impressive, and countless students came over to us to tell us how much they adored the program. My daughter was able to spend the day in classes and she was literally blown away by the teachers and the students. The talent was top notch and the teachers were focused, and intense, but supportive. That night, my wife and daughter and I were invited to watch rehearsals for the three plays they are mounting for the end of the year. We were all blown away … I couldn’t believe we weren’t watching a broadway show. And I speak from experience. I am a film director myself, and have cast hundreds of roles in my career … Acting is my passion and I have seen student productions at many of the major programs as well as many senior BFA showcases… nothing has compared to what we saw at UNCSA. We watched Gerald Freedman directing – he’s a legend for a reason. You can tell I am on a high, I just had to chime in. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.</p>
