We live 15 minutes from Oakland’s campus - attend almost all of their student shows - of which the quality continues to climb - and know several past and present students! It is a program that should get more mention here. Their last audition date this spring was last weekend - but in the past they have held an August audition.
My husband and I are actually both Oakland Alum’s (Engineering and English) - for our D, it was a victim of “too close to home” syndrome.
