"How wonderful it was to watch young artists spectacularly share their voices. The actors were wonderfully prepared with their audition pieces and joyful in receiving thoughts on continuing the work. It is clear that they have excellent guidance and support at the Actor's Training Center."
Michelle Lopez-RiosAssociate Professor, Head of Voice Chair of Performance - The Theatre School at DePaul University
"It is clear those students have such fantastic support from your program. They shared such open, grounded performances (and those voices!!). What a joyous way to spend a Sunday afternoon."
Robert FrostAdjunct Instructor - NYU Tisch New Studio on Broadway
"I really appreciate the open, creative, and informative environment that ATC has managed to provide for these talented young artists. Giving them a one-on-one connection to some of the top Acting and Musical Theater programs in the country goes way beyond the performance! Additionally, I felt such an authentic and genuine nature in each one of your students in the way they approached their work and received their feedback. Well done!"
Lara TeeterProfessor, Head of Musical Theatre - Sargent Conservatory Webster University

CAC MAIN GOALS/ LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • All CAC students will have a clear and diversified list of schools they are applying to and have a minimum of 3 reasons why they are applying to/interested in that school. They should be able to give definitive answers to justify why that would potentially be a good fit.
  • All CAC students will have a clear understanding of the steps of “coming into the room” for an audition and be able to communicate effectively and candidly
  • CAC students will be able to identify given circumstances, objects, obstacles, and a clear other for all audition pieces. They should be able to answer questions about and articulate clearly the givens surrounding their audition pieces.
  • CAC will be nimble and open to suggestions/adjustments from auditors. They should, fundamentally, understand the concept of “play” in a piece.
  • CAC will leave the program with a well-curated package that shows a range of stories and abilities that they are eager to share.
  • Parents will be enlisted as allies in the process.
  • Students will be prepared for the realities of college: being able to communicate clearly and often via email.

MISSED CLASSES/ MAKE UPS

  • Except for in the event of a medical emergency or severe sickness, make-up classes are not available. In the event a student needs to miss and would like to make something up, they are able to use their provided coaching hours (depending on major) to supplement missed classes.
  • In the event of illness which impedes the students ability to audition, Prescreen time can be made up, however, students may have more limited hours to select from given the studio and coach calendar. Students are encouraged to participate in the slated prescreen weekend.
