TheatreGuy123 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Does anyone have any industry info on the UCLA MFA Directing program? Heard anything about it? Know anyone that went there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know anyone that went there? I don't know anything about the program itself, but I did once take a Greek Chorus workshop from Michael Hackett that was incredible/life-changing. And that was enough to make me curious/a little regretful that I didn't look into it as an option. So there's that. How the "industry" views a program can be hard to pin down, I might start by looking at the bios of professors and where they have worked to determine potential network connections.

What she has directed look to be shorts based on her IMDB. If you'd like, I can connect you two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eccyclema Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Just got an email saying I was waitlisted for CMU, surprising since I didn't receive any follow-up after my Skype interview, but more heartening than an outright rejection for sure!

He might be able to provide "insider" thoughts, if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleViking131 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Just got an invite to visit U Mass Amherst for their Directing program. I am extending my stay in Boston and doing a little self-drive to western Mass' to visit with them. No word on Indiana yet... Eccyclema 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael is so great - I did a Shakespeare workshop with both him and Rodney Cottier in the Fall when I was first applying. So awesome.

Eccyclema Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 How's everyone doing? Any insights from finals weekends or news to share? I've been interviewing current students at a particular program (gonna keep it on the DL for now since I think that program is going to make final decisions soon). So that's been insightful.

theatremeg12 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Congrats to everyone on interviews! Good luck to all! Does anyone happen to know if Amherst does interviews in waves? I know some directors have heard, but I have no idea about the other specialties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodToGodot Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) UCLA offers have been sent FYI I was accepted, not sure to whom they've sent them or how many spots they've offered. Typically only 2 are admitted. Edited February 24, 2020 by GoodToGodot Additional Info Eccyclema and ctbck 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tui77 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi Everyone! Long time lurker here. I only applied to Brooklyn College this year so kinda late to the process in general. I have my interview next week. Anyone have any advice who interviewed with them at the URTAS or over the last few weeks? What kind of questions did they ask? Thank you!
