OU (the University of Oklahoma) also does shows in collaboration with CityRep where students are able to earn EMC points. Just this February, several recent OU graduates (& I believe current students as well) all received their Equity cards after their Avenue Q run at the Oklahoma City Civic Center where an OU faculty member directed the show. My friend’s son was a lead. He was put up in a B&B and paid, of course. What a difference going from paying tuition a few months prior, to being paid! I drove up to see him in his first Equity role. He was fantastic. It was such a great show! Also, OU students are always hired by Lyric Theatre in Oklahoma City, where they can also earn EMC points doing Summer Stock work. There are also numerous other theaters in which students participate in productions including Reduxion, Poteet, Guthrie, Shakespeare in the Park and others. Several of the OU faculty members direct Summer Stock out of state and often cast OU students.
