<p>^Exactly, EmmyBet…although you usually can get a little bit of a read on whether the friendliness is grounded in something real. And it’s weird to audition at a school where very few people even bother to “fake it.” </p>
<p>Re: websites, since they’re almost always a function of the school’s marketing department, not their theater program, it’s wise to avoid putting a lot of weight on them as anything other than one source of information. At the school where I teach, all of the website pagrs are generated by folks in an office who rarely ask us for material and only at the last minute (usually when we have a million other things going on). I hope nobody judges our arts program too harshly by that site! :)</p>
