William Peace seems to be a different animal. Really small with some sort of class share with other local colleges…
D is auditioning at Western Carolina U in March as well…we know very little but we are excited to find out more! I have heard that the program is rapidly growing and improving…so we shall see. This school seems like a good place to get the BFA and still have a somewhat “normal” college experience…if that is even possible when your doing MT however a lot of folks have never heard of the programs so…
My daughter auditioned at Western Carolina and had a very positive experience. Faculty and students were very warm and friendly. They are making a lot of positive changes in the program. They stated they are moving from 4 main stage productions a year to 6. Yes, the dance call was performed in front of parents. We did not find this to be out of the ordinary since Coastal Carolina also held their dance call this way.
@amt2016 any word yet from them? We are headed there this weekend
Yes, my daughter was accepted into the program. She is very excited. We are still waiting to hear from 3 other schools, but she would be very happy if she ends up there. Break a leg this weekend and have fun with it. It was definitely one of the better audition experiences she had.
Conrats!!! My D will be very happy if she gets in!
@hopeful1212 did you make it to the auditions last weekend? Was wondering your thoughts about it…
Yes! It was so wonderful! I loved the program, the students were really warm and welcoming. The teachers were so great and I even went up on Sunday to see their BFA Acting Showcase which was Fantastic! I highly recommend Western Carolina, if I get into this program and another that I feel good about I will be torn between them. Western is so beautiful and such a great program. The film opportunities are endless and so amazing.
Yes we really liked it too! Hoping for the best Good luck to you as well!
Good to hear these things about western c.
@hopeful1212 and @craz4mtsmom
My D talked at length with them at SETC as she got a callback from them. So nice and she’s definitely applying there in the fall!
Hey has anyone heard anything back yet?
@craz4mtsmom
Not yet…ugh
Any news now?
No…
Same here! It’s now my number one school and probably my last hope. Since its the only one I can afford and I love the program so so much. And it’s the last one I’m waiting to hear from besides Montclair.
I feel for ya…we are also running out of options!
They are performing Gypsy next week… we live in the area, so we are going to check out the campus and see the show… I’ll report back.
They are probably swamped with rehearsals and such…def let us know what you find out! We auditioned on campus and had a quick look see and loved it!
Just got an email! She got in!!!
@KTVoice we are going to see Gypsy as well and one last campus visit before we commit!
