<p>Found about this site on a recent visit to Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>Thought it might be of interest to all of us prospectives!!</p>

<p>Thanks! Looks great!</p>
<p>thanks for sending the info about CMU showcase. Interesting that the majority of the guys are taller than average. Is this typical or just happen to be for this graduating class.</p>
<p>I'm almost afraid to ask this but there seems to be a "trend" with the "needing a shave" look!</p>
<p>I love that site. Thanks for sharing the link.</p>
<p>Looks like these are a mixture of MT and straight theatre performers. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how they choose which students are invited for the senior showcase?</p>

<p>All seniors in the Acting and MT BFA at CMU are in their showcase. What you see there is their entire senior class in both programs.</p>
<p>Which schools allow all seniors to participate in the showcase and which schools hold auditions for their showcase? Do they all do a Los Angeles and New York Showcase?</p>
<p>I believe only Juilliard and CMU do NY and LA showcases.</p>
<p>UMich (NYC), CCM (NYC), CMU (NY/LA), Juilliard (NY/LA) each take their whole senior class to showcase.</p>
<p>Point Park requires an extensive application and audition process to be selected for their showcase (NYC). They take a mixture of actors and MT's.</p>
<p>These are the schools which I know well; many schools have "showcases" at their schools.</p>
<p>CMU showcase is quite an endeavor. The school pays for the NYC showcase and the students must raise money for the entire cost of the LA trip (including faculty travel expenses and hosting functions for showcase attendees). They do all kinds of fundraisers (mostly performances) throughout the year.</p>
<p>For Tisch, you audition to get into the industry nights (showcase). However, starting this year, for CAP21 students (MT BFA) who have been in it all four years, they had their own showcase for agents, casting directors, etc. in December and each of them could participate. This was separate from the showcase for all of Tisch, for which they are eligible to audition.</p>
<p>Wow! Thank you for the quick reply! This forum is great!</p>
<p>CCM drama also does NY and LA showcases - MT does only NY.</p>
<p>BW takes the entire senior class on a showcase to NY (which showcase is shared with PSU, Otterbein, and CCM drama, but I don't know if they take the whole class).</p>
<p>I believe Ithaca takes the whole class to the showcase. </p>
<p>I believe if a class votes to do a showcase at Syracuse, students are required to audition.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if any of the other MT/Acting BFA's post sites with their graduating actors' headshots and resumes?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Baldwin-Wallace does, for one. :) There may be others. CMU used to also put voice-over samples for each actor on their "Showcase of New Talent" website (in the late 90's) - I loved that!</p>
<p>The CMU Senior L.A. Showcase is next week (May 7 - 13). And if you are in Pittsburgh on Friday, May 19 or Saturday, May 20, you can see the senior MTs perform at the CLO Cabaret. It will be their last performance together.</p>
<p>Hartt has showcases in NYC for MT and some MT majors can choose to do LA with the actor trainers who do both.</p>
<p>Just saw the UMich senior showcase last Sunday. It was totally amazing. They take the whole senior showcase to New York.</p>
<p>My D saw the BoCo showcase yesterday in NYC. She said it was awesome and is soooo excited to be attending there in September. By the way, American Idol (and BoCo alumni) Constantine was at the showcase watching with the other alums.</p>
<p>FSU has a senior showcase in NYC the first week in May every year. All seniors in the BFA Acting and MT programs participate and the trip is funded by the School of Theatre.</p>
