I should probably change my screen name to reflect that my son graduated this past June, not 2019. He was able to graduate in 3 years instead of 4 due to taking 3 summer semesters and coming in with 2 AP credits. I haven’t posted in a while, but here’s another post-grad story. My son just received his BFA in MT from AMDA (yes, that AMDA where he received great training, plus many contacts which come in very handy as he discovered). The first weekend out of college he was cast in Joseph and the Amazing… because one of his instructors from school who was directing the show had an actor drop out and he immediately thought of my son and offered him the part. That show completed last week, and during the rehearsals he had auditioned for scare acting at Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights. He found out 2 days ago that he has been cast in that, so he’s employed for at least the next 3 months. After that will be more auditioning, the life of an actor. It helps that we live in Los Angeles, so there are many opportunities both in community theater and beyond. We shall see how it goes…
