MTCA has made all the difference in our college audition season (grade 12) and preseason (grade 11). It has given us great insight into schools and helped my student create her college list and feel more knowledgeable before heading into the audition. It’s been a serious game changer!
I started listening to this a couple of years ago when my kid started expressing serious interest in pursuing musical theatre as a career. The college deep dive episodes are one of my main sources for information on BFA/BMus MT programs, and I don’t think there’s anywhere else I can hear the insights that Charlie deftly elicits from faculty. This is a must-listen for MT artists and their families supporting them on this career path. Thank you, MTCA!
This podcast has been incredibly helpful to me and my son as we begin getting our heads around the MT audition and college selection process. We are so thankful for it!
This is one of the most helpful podcasts I’ve ever listened to! So grateful to Charlie, MTCA, and all the college representatives and MT professionals who come on and give so much insight and advice. It is truly such a gift! Thank you!!
If your kid is interested in a career in performing arts, you need to listen to every episode! Charlie asks the questions I want answers to! So informative and a terrific resource as we embark on this journey.
