I understand CC works with the Atlantic Stage. Are there musical theatre performances during Atlantic Stage seasons?
If not, do CCU MTs have opportunities to work toward equity points, EM at other venues? Thank you!
As of now, CCU does not directly offer opportunities to work towards EMC points, although it’s a plan that is always in the works. Atlantic Stage is an equity house but due to the number of equity contracts, they do not currently offer EMC points to performing students.
One of the amazing things about Coastal, however, is how supportive the faculty are about encouraging students to audition for summer work. Because of this, and the many connections the faculty at CCU offer you, students work at theatres over the summer where they earn EMC points and (in the case of two 2015 grads) their equity cards before they even move to the city.
