Wright State Musical Theatre Class of 2021

If you D or S were accepted, let us know here so we can get to know one another. Btw, did you see the season was announced? First musical they would be able to audition for is spring 2018, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Have you visited the school, what do you think? Seen the dorm rooms for MT group?

My D was accepted and we are almost certain this is her choice to attend. Still waiting to hear back from OKCU before making a decision. We loved the campus! And, we got to visit the current MT freshmans and their dorm rooms. We loved it! The new arts building is just lovely! Staffers very organized and super supportive. We are from Memphis so it’s an 8 hour drive easily.

There is currently a freshman girl MT from the Memphis area at WSU. Perhaps you know her?

Yes we do :). So excited!!! The girls have been in a couple of shows together.

I was also accepted into their program and have committed!

Congrats @BLWSU21! Welcome to the WSU family.

@BLWSU21 Congratulations! There is a parent Facebook Group. Would your Mom or Dad like to join it? Message me their Facebook name and I will invite them. I’m one of the admins along with @mom4bwayboy

@chenggang - My son is a Freshman BFA MT and they had the option to live in the Honors Dorm - Theatre Wing. It’s a nice option. The entire wing is BFA MT or Acting. Co-ed. Almost all the BFA’s live there, but not all. The dorm has a gym, store, computer room, laundry and cafe. The shuttle stops there. They share with one room mate and a toilet and shower with one other room with two residents. The sink is in the room, so it’s pretty great!

The honors dorm specifications are on the WSU housing website. They include 2 each: twin bed, 2 drawer dresser, armoire, desk, chair. There is no shelf on the desk, so that might be something your student might want to think about when looking for room furnishings. Yes, once you’ve committed to WSU, join our parent group. Great resource! My son is a BFA MT sophomore. Welcome to the family!

Well, D made her decision and sent her acceptance into WSU today!!! Can’t wait to get to know the parents and now get the rest of the paperwork complete for dorms, etc.

Would any of y’all care to say how many are in the c/o 2021 Facebook group? Wondering if my D still has a snowball’s chance in H-E-doublehockeystix of getting off that waitlist! :slight_smile:

i don’t know but I do know a lot of the kids on there are joining chat groups but aren’t committed to the school. I guess they just get on there and gab.

Three accepted CC girls have committed elsewhere. There may be others - perhaps even ones that are in the chat groups. And the gender balance is not always 50/50. There’s hope.

Wouldn’t hurt to let them know your D is REALLY interested in WSU - but only if that’s the truth.

My D just came off the wait list and has accepted a spot in the program. Joe Deer told her they were accepting 16 students this year - 8 girls, 8 boys.

My daughter finally accepted her spot in the MT class yesterday! @chenggang I believe we met at auditions. Our daughters both knew they same freshman from Memphis.

Congrats to your D @lynwvr1233!

Congrats @lynwvr1233! The Memphis contingent is well-represented at WSU. Welcome to the Raider family.

My daughter committed as well. Would like info on the parent group please? Is this on facebook? Thanks!

Congrats, @lynwvr1233 and EAB mom! I look forward to meeting you both. ;:wink:

The parent group on Facebook is ‘wright state u bfa mt/acting parents’. Just request to join and one of us will accept the request!
