<p>does anyone know what studio idina was in at nyu?</p>
<p>I've wondered that too. I know that she didn't study at CAP though. They have a wall of fame type thing in their main office and she isn't on there. I also asked and they said she didn't go to CAP.</p>
<p>I think I read that when she was there, Circle in the Square had a Tisch studio she was in.</p>
<p>Hey september,
You're in Strasberg this year right? Did you get a Union Square dorm, or are you farther away? And is it nice being close/far from your studio?</p>
<p>Morningstar23,</p>
<p>My daughter is a sophomore in Strasberg and lived in Third Avenue North last year. She loved being close to her studio. In fact, she loved it so much that last summer she and a close friend who is also a sophomore at Strasberg rented an apartment just about two blocks further down from Third Avenue North. They love the apartment, it's on 12th St. between 1st and 2nd Ave. I know they love being close to studio and truly this is how they picked the locale of where they wanted to live. They feel like they are living in the lap of luxury as they have a two bedroom apartment with nice/size living/dining area, and large kitchen (kind of unusual for NYC). My daughter's bedroom is larger than the one she shared in her apartment dorm at Third Ave. North, so she is one happy camper. In fact she is flying back tomorrow and can't wait to get back to the city, but we will sure miss her :)</p>

<p>I'm kind of right in the middle, at Rubin--nice because the distance between Studio and my WSP classes is pretty equal. Rubin also has a piano practice room, a dance room with a barre, and a black box theatre, all of which are only able to be signed out by Rubinites so its useful for drama students. Some of the other buildings have similar facilities, check the NYU Housing website for more info.</p>
<p>Living super close to studio is also great because often lunch breaks can be short (1/2 hour), but if you're living somewhere like UHall and you go to Strasberg, you can probably go home for a bit to grab food, pick up/drop off props, etc.</p>
<p>Hope that helped!</p>
<p>theatredivasmom,
don't mean to divert the thread, but my s just mentioned he wants to get apt. for fall. I couldn't answer his questions re: when and how to search. He's in Playwrights but doesn't mind long walks. How and when did your daughter find her apt? (Tried to email you but couldn't).</p>
<p>hi. i'm going to playwrights as well this coming year and i'm very excited. i think it will be a great opporunity to draw on my other strengths like dance and creative writing, and hopefully help me grow to be a very well rounded actor!!!</p>
<p>yay playwrights</p>
<p>theatredivasmom-</p>
<p>that helped a whole bunch. like morningstar, I am going to be in strasberg this year and I already had fallen in love with 3rd north, but I've heard people say it's far from campus. but hearing that its so close to my studio, i'm 100% sure now! thanks!</p>
<p>katys,
Congrats on your admission and on Playwrights. Hope it's a terrific 1st year for you!</p>
<p>I'm in Playwrights Horizons, as well...but, I'm going for Rubin b/c of $$$. Of course, I've heard good things about it too. Does anyone know how far away it is from the PH studio, though?</p>
<p>ok i have a question im a junior in highschool and i want to go to nyu and major in theatre, is tisch where i'll end up auditioning for? sorry, im really college dumb and i need to get my act together and figure out what im going to do for college so it would be great if someone could help me =]]]</p>
<p>Yes, unless you really want an approach that is more geared towards education, then you would go to steinhardt.</p>
<p>if you want a voice-dominant training you'll audition for the Steinhardt musical theatre program, if you want a more all round training with dance, acting, voice you'll audition for tisch. if you want to major in theatre for acting, that's also tisch. you should look at the website.</p>
<p>Congratulations guys!!! Can't wait to see u in the fall. Anyone in ETW?</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,
My Niece was rejected from NYU Cap 21 Musical Theatre department and I know she will be heartbroken. She attended their summer program and applied early decision. Her training mostly was in dance and the last couple of years she fell in love with musical theatre and has been taking voice and acting lessons. She is an accomplished dancer and the family and others had suggested she go to NY
(she is audition ready for dance) and study with one of the studios while she auditions but she insisted she wanted to go to college. Does anyone know if CAP21 has programs for non-NYU students other than master classes? We are trying to get some information to give her when she gets home and reads the letter. Any advice? Thanks</p>
<p>LynneIA - did she only apply to NYU? If so, and if she has her heart set on being in NYC, but also going to college, she could check out Pace University as it is the only other college in New York right now that also offers a BFA in musical theatre. Pace may not have the strongest dance program in a BFA setting, but they do encourage their students to take as many dance classes outside of school as possible, and they were very supportive. It seems that your niece is quite an accomplished dancer, who is looking to combine training in general with liberal arts classes. My D was very impressed by the overall philosophy of the program and the head of the MT department seems really knowledgeable. It could be worthwile at least setting up an appointment with. Best of luck and I am so sorry that she did not get the news she was hoping for.</p>
<p>PS - My D seems to remember that CAP21 was working on getting their own independent conservatory program in place, but I just checked their website and it only refers to workshops.</p>
<p>LynneIA -- If she is looking to go to school in or near NYC she may also want to look at Montclair State in NJ and Marymount Manhattan. Both these schools have threads at the top of the MT board.</p>
<p>how many ppl got in from the summer program? because i have a friend who was in it as well and he was rejected.</p>
<p>I think that students oftentimes believe that having participated in a summer, precollege program gives them an admissions advantage, and that doesn't always work out to be the case, unfortunately! That's why students should choose their summer programs based on what is offered/where they want to be for the summer/what program is best for helping them build skills, rather than with an admissions advantage in mind. In any case, Mackie45, I am sorry for your friend. A rejection is disappointing, no matter what, and maybe even more so if a kid falls in love with a program during the summer. :(</p>
