<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on these boards 
</p>
<p>Basically my story is this: I eventually went to a state school (with a good theatre program - we have a few alums who have been on Broadway) because it was the absolute only thing I could afford, and am now a sophomore/rising junior in Theatre and Communications with a minor in voice. It was frustrating because I got into a few other schools, but I really didn’t want to leave college with an over $100,000 debt. So, I went and am now involved in acting and actually a lot of stage management as well.</p>
<p>I have a pretty sizable resume, but not large by any means. My biggest problem with my school is this: They do a musical every 2-3 years. They did one this year when I was required to work backstage in something else (it was completely unavoidable, so I (sadly) didn’t even audition), and then the next one they will do the semester after I graduate. I do not have the money/transportation to do any musical stuff outside of my school. Therefore, when I graduate I will have maybe like a few smaller cabaret things on my resume and a bunch of backstage work and straight theatre.</p>
<p>While this is not my ideal, there really is not a lot I can do about it. So, therefore, I’m trying to get 1-2 jobs this summer and I’m basically just going to pocket everything so I can use it towards the program.</p>
<p>Now that I’ve kind of explained to you about what I’ve had to do, my questions are these:</p>
<p>1) I saw there was no audition - can parents/alumni tell me the best way to get into this program aside from the audition?</p>
<p>2) Since there is no audition, how many people are accepted? </p>
<p>3) How will they look at no musical theatre experience on my resume? Is there any way I could make up for this?</p>
<p>4) Will this be a good replacement on my resume for when I graduate? I was thinking about going into graduate school for Musical Theatre, and thought that this might be a great way to try to get my foot in the door for that.</p>
<p>5) Please tell me any other information you have about this program. I’ve read a lot about the pre-college program, but haven’t had a chance to really learn about this one.</p>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
