Western Carolina University Musical Theatre Update

The Musical Theatre program at WCU wrapped up “42nd Street” last semester, and has jumped right into “Rocky Horror Picture Show” with both feet! Check out the promo for “42nd Street” that includes director, Terrence Mann! Be looking for another update with a promo for “Rocky Horror”!

Karyn Tomczak, former Rockette, will be taking students from all majors and levels within the School of Stage and Screen to NYC in March for “On Tap: From Broadway to the Silver Screen.” This high energy, tap show will be presented by The Ziegfeld Society. While in NYC, the senior BFA students will also have the opportunity to showcase for agents and casting directors as well as participate in master classes with them. They will also perform a cabaret that week! The seniors have been raising money to help with the cost of the showcase expenses. The link to the fundraiser is included with a short clip of the seniors explaining a little more about the showcase. They are very close to their goal!!!

Applications must be delivered to the office of the School of Stage and Screen two weeks prior to the auditions. The link below includes the applications for not only the BFA Musical Theatre program, but also for the BFA Theatre, and BA General programs as well! We hope to see lots of faces there!
