All we can say is WOW! We're thrilled to share the outstanding success of our students during the recent College Audition Project weekend in St. Louis. Our students auditioned for over 65 schools and earned a remarkable 340+ callbacks, with several of them receiving on-the-spot offers and scholarships. As we move into the next phase of the audition season, we’re excited to schedule final callbacks for the New York Unifieds and virtual callbacks with top schools, aiming to conclude our fiscal year with strong opportunities for our students. This experience not only highlighted their growth and readiness but also underscored the impact of our program’s support in preparing them for this crucial stage. I am asking our community to continue supporting this incredible non profit that has a 100% success rate in students getting into BFA acting and musical theatre programs across the country. If you watch movies, see theatre, listen to music, stream tv shows, these are the artists of tomorrow. These are your future producers, directors, actors, dancers, writers. It is important to keep transforming the lives of young people. Please consider donating to Theatre Gap Initiative by sending texting TGI to 53-555.
