I would like to hear from some people whose child has been accepted to at least a couple schools that has NOT had a coaching service and has NOT attended a summer intensive before senior year. ( not counting your locally run theatre camps, I'm referring to summer college intensives such as CMU etc) . I recently has someone tell me that I need to get my D into both of these things or auditions won't "go well" next winter... She is going to go to a summer program but not one of the major ones. Coaching isn't something we are considering doing really.
I have just noticed after she brought this up to me, that there is a common denominator on a lot of the acceptance threads, previous years too, where the kids with multiple acceptances to several well know MT programs had coaches &/or had attended a summer intensive and a lot of them had done both. I also noticed that there is a lot of kids who already have done paid work on regional theatres etc & have professional credits etc. perhaps this is just a coincidence.
