I posted this in the general MT thread also, but think it might get lost. I think this is something different that Wright State is doing that makes it stand out from other programs.
My D just graduated from Wright State (2017) and they tried something new this year instead of the traditional Showcase they have always done. Rather than 1 performance in NYC with industry professionals invited, and not sure who would/would not actually attend (or who would be sent from XYZ agency), they had a week of scheduled workshops and masterclasses with agents and casting directors, so they knew they were legitimate. The students performed and received feedback.
They all loved it, and I think every one of them had interest from agents. We haven’t had time yet to talk through details of the whole week, but the quick rundown I got on the phone was that “it was amazing.” Additionally, the new grads were paired with Mentors - alums several years older than they are who have been living & working in NYC (or tours, etc) & who are currently living in the city. They met with them and will stay in touch - so they have someone a little further out/more experienced available to answer questions.
The Seniors have a Showcase class & they spend most of their senior year picking material, preparing it, rehearsing, and also learning about life in the business. My D feels very prepared and I am very impressed.
