FB is a funny place. It does not come up when I search. Probably a metrics issue and easier if you know someone who knows someone already in the group. Try looking in “groups,” also.
If anyone needs to be added, please PM me! I’m a member (I’ve been a member of these groups since the 2017 one, The Allied) and can add you!
My daughter cannot find it either, even when searching under groups? Any tips on finding the group?
@CanadianMTgirl sent you a pm:)
Congratulations @owensfolks! My D is a graduate of the UNCSA High School Drama class 2015. She had a wonderful experience at UNCSA, and I can’t say enough about Kelly Maxner and the rest of his faculty! Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions.
Excellent. Thank you so much, @limbo2019 !
I have been trying since the Unified dates were posted to book a room at the Palmer House. The website says they are booked that week and all weeks surrounding the February dates. Any advice?
@mttheatermom call the hotel directly. I don’t think they book online this far out. Ask for any deals they may have. We got significant savings pre-paying our room when we went a few years ago.
@theatermom Did you call the hotel directly? That’s how I booked early last year.
@MTheaterMom, have you called? I sometimes find when you call and speak to the hotel staff directly and not the reservation line, you get better results. You could ask about specials also. Also, there’s always the Hampton Inn Majestic about a block away.
Welcome class of 2021! I am an incoming freshman BFA MT at Pace! If anyone has any questions about this crazy audition process feel free to ask me any questions!
Congratulations @MTkid2020 and Thanks!!! Did you audition at Pace or at Unifieds?
I auditioned at Chicago Unifieds! @Mel2421
@MTheaterMom, those dates may not even be available yet to book at the Palmer House I can’t imagine all those weeks would be sold out. We booked our room in late July for Unifieds and there were still rooms available in October when I went back to change our reservation. If in doubt, call the hotel directly.
What is considered “great deal” $$/night at Palmer house? (For both normal and executive rooms)
Normally you can get a three-star hotel in Chicago in Jan/Feb via PriceLine Deal Finder for $125 or less. I’m sure unifieds bumps the price up at the Palmer House, but no idea how much. (We stayed there the weekend before Unifieds one time for $75 a night. It’s very low season, except for Unifieds.)
Getting ready to visit Ithaca, Rider and Montclair! Let this crazy process begin!
Please give us a report!
Ithaca was awesome! But they take only between 12-18 students. Coming from Texas Ithaca seems kind of out there. It was about 4 hours away from NYC. Rider takes around 40 students and seems to be a great well rounded program. My d was disappointed they have to have two semesters of a foreign language and 1 semester of Math. We are staying in Montclair and will visit Montclair College tomorrow on our own since they are closed. Then off to Wagner where she will stay for two weeks. Will post a report when she is finished at the Summer Musical Theatre Intensive.
I’m an incoming freshman MT at Ithaca so if anyone has questions about the college audition process or Ithaca, I’m your guy!
@Mel2421 is the drive to Wagner horrible? We’ve never been to staten island and I really don’t want my D at a school that I will have a horrible time reaching! I would like to go see shows during the year etc and sitting in tons of NY traffic and dealing with crazy driving is not something I want to deal with really . We just drove to Long Island and it was horrific. Now I am from Maryland and drive around DC so am not that inexperienced and it was awful! It took us like 6 hrs instead of 4 1/2.
