<p>Is Otterbien college the only college for Musical Theatre and Theatre that has such a good senior internship in NYC and LA. Also is this really true if so how do they hook you up with the casting directors in NYC and LA and is it guaranteed? Are there any other colleges or has senior internships like this?</p>
<p>We just returned from a visit to Otterbein where my daughter has been accepted. We talked with faculty and seniors about the internship. It is the only true scheduled internship (more than a week) out there. My D applied to 13 schools and no other school has any opportunity close to this. The seniors spent about 10 weeks in NY or LA working as an intern from January into March. They saw the inside workings of auditions, casting discussions and how the whole process comes together. They gain wonderful connections from this time away and certainly will benefit in the coming months to years. Otterbein has been doing this for many years (1 person said 30 yrs) and so the system is set-up with the casting directors. It certainly makes the school stand out.</p>
