I haven’t set up a Wagner College parents group yet on FB but will. I posted it in the Grown & Flown FB (which has about 70k members) if anyone was interested and did not get any takers. So we can all start one, hopefully build it some how. While we are all Theater parents, I was thinking I would make it for all Wagner parents…
Sounds great @booknerdmom !
LBSMom, that you for that insight. We are local to Staten Island, so I think that actually makes him discount Wagner a little more. It’s not as attractive to go to college literally 5 minutes from your house - lol! He is considering all the usual suspects but Wagner keeps coming up. His choreographer for his HS show is a dance professor and she keeps talking it up to him, which is making him look at it a bit more seriously now. We did see Hair a few weeks ago and it was a fabulous show! He will definitely audition and see what happens!
Wagner was not at the top of my daughters list in the beginning. Visiting the schoo and auditions changed everything. She honestly can’t see herself anywhere else. She feels it is the perfect school for her and is more than excited to start this fall!
@NYKaren We are south shore Suffolk county Long Island. While close, my son will be living on campus. Maybe that’s the trade off for your son - although being that close, kinda hard to justify!?
My D has several friends right on SI - they live on campus and seem to be just fine. She just finished up freshman year and loved it. It was never on her list either, until I scheduled an appointment and made the visit part of NYC weekend. She feel in love with it immediately and is so happy to be there.
Very hard to justify - lol!!
@booknerdmom I am definitely interested in a Wagner parents page. Did this ever get going? Please let me know. I have to figure out how to get notices when people post here because I have missed so much. My S didn’t go on 4/5 because that was tech week. We are in CA so if we can’t go for at least 3-4 days its not going to happen. I am reading all of this thread now. My hubby and I are hoping to connect with any Wagner parents we can.
@LBSMOM I can’t add you unless we become FB friends…so all, search for WAGNER COLLEGE PARENTS.
Hopefully you will find and share!
@smeaglemom The WC parents FB group is up, please come join. I have 2 questions and rn it’s only me and a friend. I needed to add someone to even start a group.
@fancytheatrekid If you are on FB, I started the parent group. @delta215 Maybe set up a FB profile?
Great, I will set one up soon!
@#booknerdmom I can’t find it on the search. Also, do you want to keep it to just theatre parents? Might get messy with all Wagner Parents. Maybe WCT Parents or Wagner College Theatre Parents.
@LBSMOM I would but I fear the group would be very small. I figure get us in, see who else might find it, change if need be? If you search Wagner College Parents, you’re not seeing a group? It’s not “secret” just private…
I just messaged you the link on FB messenger.
@smeaglemom @fancytheatrekid Pls let me know if you have trouble finding the group.
@booknerdmom I can’t seem to find it on FB either. Could you message me as well
I can but I need your name first grin…i will send you a private message so you can tell me how to find you!
@smeaglemom Can you send me your FB profile name? Or you can search me Laurie Elliott, in Brightwaters NY. I have a Bitmoji profile pic of me.
