With our total number of BFAs (freshman-senior, all 4 majors) at just about 100 now, we are proud to share that over half of our students booked summer work this year. Many of our seniors chose to head to NYC right away or not audition for summer work due to plans to move to NYC, and many other students chose varying ways to continue their education while on break. So thrilled for all of them!
In addition, just a small alumni update. Proud to share we currently have recent grads from the last 4 classes working at (just to name a few): Merry Go Round Playhouse, The Kennedy Center, New London Barn, Pagosa Springs, Virginia Musical Theatre, Royal Caribbean Cruise, Norwegian Cruise, Holland Cruise, The Palace Theatre (NH), The Fulton Theatre, The Fireside Theatre, Disney Cruise, The Berkshire Theatre Festival, The Wick, Arts Center of Coastal Carolina, Maryland Ensemble Theatre, Broadway Palm, Pilobolus, in national commercials, with the USO show troupe, Foxwoods Resort and Casino, Legends in Concert, the film “Bastards”, with Broadway Bares, and more!
CCU continues to grow and as we do, we will keep sharing the great news here! Love CC!
