<p>we'll see them at the showcase...since we are doing it together :o)</p>
<p>I've just found out that Lauren Marshall ('04) has been cast as Lorraine in the 2nd National Tour of Jersey Boys! More success from BW graduates!</p>
<p>Looks like B-W has an awesome list of grads, but anyone there let me know what the MT program is like? It seems scattered among 3 departments, so I am curious. And, how many do they accept a year? Also, how much performance chance is there? I know baout the big stuff, but are there freshman showcases/senior plays/etc etc? Also heard the students there get into Chicago for things...is this still true?
And, what is the college atmosphere like? The dorms? the food?
A thetaer teacher at the local community college who is a friend strongly encouraged my D to check this school out, so it has just appeared on our radar.
thanks!</p>

<p>That is so great. My son will be attending the summer intensive and is interested in BW. He plans to audition in November and will be thrilled to be able to see Phantom there. Last year he attended the masterclass Friday night before those first auditions but was unable to stay and see Side Show. He has regretted it ever since.</p>

<p>I heard you got a new acting teacher in the MT dept, and he is supposed to be awesome! Sounds like the BW program is moving into the "big time". How exciting....can't wait until audition weekend for my D, to see what you have there.</p>
<p>Yes he is wonderful! And because of him, the acting coursework is being completely rehauled. He has already done wonders for those of us who have gone through class with him. BW is truely going through it's golden age right now, and everyone here should seriously consider auditioning.</p>
