Northwestern Student Theatre

I definitely agree that later auditions would be better! It would help if there weren't such intense weight placed on getting into Waa-2. I remember a teacher saying that Waa-2 kids were often some of the most successful freshmen each year, and that thought really added a lot of pressure and made me (and probably a lot of others) feel really disappointed when I didn't get in. There seemed to be a suggestion as well that people in Waa-2 had a much better shot at getting into the MT program. MT auditions will naturally lead to a lot of anxiety within the freshman class, but I think it makes it worse when there is already a group that seems to be favored for it. I think it could help to alleviate feelings of a division within the freshman class if the decision for Waa-2 was not made until after the certificate program audition.

Thoughts?
