Testimonials:

“You organized a phenomenal panel. Self-selected students (in this case theatre, but in other instances engineering or any other niche) often suffer through fairs with 400 tables /colleges to try to find the dozen they truly want to see. You had those specific theatre people on hand---and not just inexperienced admissions reps, but rather, the "cream of the crop" who are actually involved in the key aspects of the whole process--from developing a vision of the program through the actual auditions...”

Lynne Scheurer (parent and guidance counselor)

“It was worth getting up on a Saturday.”

Tucker Kolanko (student)

“It was the best panel on the college theatre audition process I have participated in during my nine years running the theatre admissions process at MMC.”

David Mold
Associate Professor of Theatre
Marymount Manhattan College
