I’d say they’d prefer artistic recommendations, but would probably accept letters from teachers in related fields (e.g. English). The requirement is specific to CCPA, not general admissions for Roosevelt, and so I inferred that they would like it to focus on performing arts. I would suggest that you ask your academic teachers or advisers to discuss your performing background, talent, and enthusiasm, if you don’t have any additional teachers, directors, or mentors you can ask for recommendations (many high school students do not). CCPA requires candidates to submit Roosevelt applications, but Roosevelt is not very selective academically. Our admissions representative stated that no serious applicant for CCPA would have any trouble getting into Roosevelt. I think that Roosevelt only requires recommendation from adviser or college counselor, so the three letters should all pertain to your interest in CCPA. I don’t think you should sweat this too much, though, because I believe that CCPA overwhelmingly bases its decisions on auditions.
