MSM is now in its 2nd year of it’s MT program, I was wondering if anyone at CC had any information they could share. I’d love to learn more about this new MT program in NYC! Thanks!
And if anyone knows who is replacing the head who just left, Mr. Perez
Is that true or just a rumor?
I understand this to be true - regarding the departure of Luis Perez.
When did Perez leave? Does anyone know why or where he went?
I didn’t think he was leaving…he was still running the auditions
But if they do not have his replacement yet, it makes sense that he would still be running the auditions.
The admissions office stated that they have narrowed down his potential replacements to a “final pool”.
Yes, does anyone know what is going on regarding this as he was only there 2 years and started the program… That is confusing…?
i was told health reasons by people who know him.
Will he be continuing to teach or leaving altogether?
@MusTheaFam - I spoke with a current parent and they said he would be leaving and moving to Florida so didn’t sound like he would be teaching there.
@stagedoormama That is disappointing. Hope he is ok.
Anyone know when decisions go out?
Liza Gennaro is the new head of the MT program.
It’s going to be FABULOUS! The kids and staff are so excited! Luis paved a strong foundation, and Liza is going to run with it!
Decisions went out at the very end of March in 2016.
Hoping for some movement on the waitlist! My D loves this school! Loved it even more after talking to current students.
I actually had a chance to speak directly with Luis. He said he had some life changes and needed this time away. He wanted to make it very clear that it had nothing to do with MSM, and loves the MT program. My daughter has been accepted to MSM & NYU for MT. She has been deciding where to go and was quite sad Luis is leaving. He sat and spoke to her at tours last year, and auditioned her this year, and both times was kind, patient and generous with his time. If Luis was not leaving, the choice would be easy!
@sfbobbo my daughter is a MT freshman at MSM. if you have questions- she is more than happy to share her experience! We are very happy with the program and her professors- oh my word- INCREDIBLE!!!
For anyone who is considering MSM, the Sophomore showcase is tonight and tomorrow night at 7:00 at the theater at Riverside Church. It is free, but it is first come, first serve. Only about 1/3 of the class is in it(the rest of the class is in the Mainstage production in 3 weeks) but my daughter, who went to the dress rehearsal last night, says it is “AMAZING”. She is not one to throw those compliments out freely, so you might want to check it out,
