<p>My D is auditioning for MT concentration @ Temple this Sat & we received an acceptance packet in the mail, it says accepted to the theater program! So...she can be a theatre student w/out an audition, is just auditioning for the MT concentration? If she wasn't accepted for the MT could she still go there for just theatre?</p>
<p>Would love to hear from anyone that has had any experience w/this, probably gonna call the college this week.
Thanks!</p>
<p>I have a friend who is currently at Temple for a BA in theatre and it is a nonaudition program. The MT program is auditioned though so theatre could be a good safety option.</p>
<p>Thank you! Does your friend like the program?</p>
<p>My daughter was also accepted for straight theatre at Temple and will be auditioning for MT at the end of the month… Please post your audition experience when you’re done! Thanks!!</p>
<p>My friend really likes the program! Her roommate is a techie…through a random pairing too, and they go to see shows in Philly all the time and love the atmosphere of being in a city. Her first semester she did say she wishes she could have been involved in a production as she loves being constantly busy, but they cast the semester before so it wasn’t possible. I believe this semester she has plans to tech a show and maybe act in something else. I haven’t talked to her since winter break so I’m not entirely sure on what ended up happening. </p>
<p>FutureMillie,
Did your friend audition for MT at Temple, or did she just want straight theatre?</p>
<p>She wanted a non audition program as her biggest thing because she wants to be a theatre teacher and eventually own her own community theatre program. She is mainly an MT actor, but for college she wanted a straight theatre degree.</p>
<p>Thanks, FutureMillie!
My daughter has been wanting to connect with a current Temple theatre student- do you think your friend would be willing to correspond with her? I would PM you, but I don’t have enough CC posts to do that yet…</p>
<p>I asked my friend and she hasn’t responded to me yet, but in the mean time I would recommend you or your D join The Unified Facebook group and make a post asking if there are any current students who go there she can talk to. There is usually someone there most schools. </p>
<p>Let me know if you need help being added to the page, and I’ll give you my friend’s info if she ever gets back to me!</p>
<p>Speak of the devil, she just responded. I’m PMing you.</p>
<p>Thanks, FutureMillie6!! My daughter is emailing her right now!!</p>
<p>i’d touch base with the dept too if you want any additional contacts. the professors are open to e-mails and may be able to get your kid in touch with current students </p>
