Bright Lights Big City

Alex Tarantelli '08 (right, in photo ) participated in SpringboardNYC, a summer training intensive for aspiring theatre artists. Administrated by the American Theatre Wing (founder of the Tony Awards), SpringboardNYC is designed for serious students looking to take the plunge into the New York theatre world. "I got to see Broadway shows, meet directors, agents and casting directors and ask questions, work on my audition pieces, and also make great friends," said Tarantelli. "After SpringboardNYC, I feel more educated, more connected, and more confident in myself, and I can't wait to try my hand in the city.

During the two week program, Tarantelli participated in training sessions and workshops that will help her find jobs in the New York theatre community after she graduates. Taught by industry professionals, sessions included audition training with directors and casting directors and seminars with the industry's leading agents, managers as well as intimate conversations with working actors from stage and screen.
