A note from our College and Career Center:

Hi friends:

Next week, I'm leading a webinar with my friend and all-around wonderful human Chris Andersson, former Director of Admission at NYU's Tisch Drama.

If you (or someone you love) is considering applying to theater programs... please tell them to reconsider.

NO I'M KIDDING I TOTALLY STUDIED THEATER IN COLLEGE. TWICE. I'll explain on the session.

A Crash Course in Applying to School for Theater
Wednesday Oct 21st, 4-5pm Pacific Time (7-8pm ET)

In that webinar, we'll cover:

  • BA or BFA: Which is right for you?
  • Five different ways you can study theater in college
  • How to handle the demands of a BFA curriculum
  • What exactly is an artistic review?
  • What do they mean by “pre-screen”?
  • How to crush your audition (and avoid these 5 common mistakes)
  • An Arts Application Timeline
  • Studying theater in undergrad vs. grad school

Note: This webinar is for students, teachers, and counselors.

Feel free to share with anyone that may find it useful.

Hope to see y'all there—
