lots of MT applicants get accepted to the Tisch drama programme but are placed in one of the acting studios. I was really shocked when I was placed in Atlantic because I didn’t think my acting alone was good enough for any of the straight acting studios. there’s a few musical theatre rejects in Atlantic and also in playwrights, is what I’ve found - but honestly I don’t even think of it as a rejection. because Atlantic has turned out to be the best place for me. and this is true of any acting studio - you will learn so much more about how to actually be a good actor than you would in the MT studio, because there are many hours devoted to dance in MT. that’s not a bad thing, not at all, it’s just not what I want. when I look back on my first year and consider what would have happened if I’d been in MT, I don’t even know what I would have done or become. Atlantic is incredible and I am really learning how to act. unless you are totally married to another technique - and especially if that technique is the method - I would tell you to look into Atlantic because they are doing some really great things and I have literally watched myself change and get better.
