<p>ON the Broadway Artists Alliance, we went for the President’s Weekend program. The students stay in a hotel and there is a “counselor” that walks them to the Ripley Grier studios to work. Because it was such a short time, there were a lot of parents who just had a weekend vacation in NYC because they came with their kids. There were some tremendously talented participants - some of who were already regulars in Broadway-type shows. We received callbacks from talent agents when we returned. I’m sure they would be glad to answer any questions. I can guarantee you that these folks are serious about their programs and the results they expect to get. My D went to a Broadway show with the group and they go backstage and do a Q&A with some of the cast. Once you get accepted into their program, you are accepted into future programs automatically.</p>
