Auditions & Program

<p>Hi kjgc
My D and I are set to visit CCU during her Spring break in March right at this minute I don't remember the date. I am looking forward to meeting and seeing the campus.</p>

<p>I can't wait to meet you. Our incoming class is shaping up to be very, very strong. We have added a third performance facility, a new rehearsal and dance studio off campus and continue to expand our studio spaces. Exciting times here despite the economy.</p>

<p>Let me know if I can do anything for you!

<p>kjgc-
D and I will be at CCU on Monday the 23rd. Some how life got out of control - I am the chair of CI here and the end of the quarter has killed me - so I did not get back to you and I am not sure what we have scheduled at CCU beyond the general tour. I hope we will get a chance to meet with you specifically and D is very interested in the dance classes, so maybe sneak in there, but given that it is very late we will just go with the flow.
Looking forward to seeing the place and the "real South."</p>

<p>Is it too late to apply and audition for ccu this year?</p>

<p>Technically, it is never too late. However, our scholarship time is running VERY late. If you want to be considered for a scholarship, now is the time to get to see us. Drop me an email if you think you can get to Myrtle Beach soon. <a href="mailto:kmartin@coastal.edu">kmartin@coastal.edu</a>.</p>

This may be a question I need to take directly to the admissions office, but I thought I would try you first. D is starting to fill out the online application for CCU to start in fall 2010. When I looked at the site everything is still for 2009 and in fact it says you can apply up to August 15 for fall 2009.
So if D puts in an application in the next week or so, will it end up in the wrong year’s pile? I know she was wants to get as much done this summer but I am worried that she is jumping the gun.</p>

<p>Oh. I’ve been a tad busy. New theatre coming on line this fall, summer shows, new BFA programs to get up and running… all excuses. I should have gotten to the website! </p>

<p>Yes, it will end up in the correct pile if she sends it now. I’ll make certain of it. </p>

<p>I’ll work on the website this week. I need to get audition criteria and dates up.</p>

<p>Thanks - know how the way too busy summer of academic life is.</p>

<p>Just thought I would update this with a review! I has the pleasure of seeing The Will Rogers Follies and loved it! The young man playing Will Rogers was so wonderful. Beautiful voice, great presence and such a feel for the character. The entire cast was truly great. The tap numbers were so much fun to watch (no tap track here folks!) and the singing was truly top notch. I had never seen the show before but enjoyed the CCU production so much I would definitely go see it again. The orchestra was also terrific and the lights, set, etc. was also first rate.</p>

<p>^^^Funny coincidence. I just looked up the article on the production at CCU and the boy who played Will Rogers is someone I know as he went to our high school and I saw him in many productions (he is younger than my daughter but they overlapped a little time there). But I’ve been going to our school musical every year since my D graduated and it was during that time that this young man had leads at our high school (after my D left).</p>

<p>I just figured it out…this young man was a freshman when my D was a junior in high school. But my D graduated HS after junior year. She was Ado Annie in Oklahoma that year and this boy was in the show too but my D ended up never performing as she was out of everything that spring due to major injuries. So, they rehearsed some together and were surely in Chorus together. They went to different elem and middle schools though. Then he rose up at the school to be the leading guy after she left. I recall in the playbill in his senior year that he was going to Coastal Carolina and so that prompted me to now check when you wrote that the guy was good and I wondered if it was him and sure enough, it is.</p>

<p>How small the MT world is soozie! He was just terrific!!</p>

<p>I know, I am thinking the same thing. I mean we live in Vermont in a rural area and this was in South Carolina and you are from Texas.</p>
