Northwestern Theater Class of 2023 Advice

Our child has been accepted into the school of theater this upcoming fall. We’re all thrilled, it was her dream school! Will be auditioning for MT Certificate program. She is excited about exploring directing, writing etc. Any advice form current students or alums? Private voice lessons? Dance minor ? Dance classes to stay sharp? If you are not selected for MT Certificate program-can you still properly prepare for pursuit of an MT career? Is there time for private voice or to join an a cappella group etc? It would seem once you participate in shows that it gets crazy busy! Thanks!
