"SpringboardNYC was a wonderful opportunity. In New York City, I got to see Broadway shows, meet directors, agents, and casting directors and ask questions, work on my audition pieces, and make some great friends who are looking to do the same thing with their lives as I am. ..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."

"Working at Park Playhouse this summer was a fantastic experience. Just out of school this past May, it was excellent to receive my first paying acting job in a leading role so soon...working on an outdoor stage was a new experience for me. Dealing with the heat and rain was something I had never had to work around before. All in all it was fantastic. I met amazing people and enjoyed what I love for the whole summer." 

-Emily Curro '07,on her experience as Betty Rizzo in Grease at Park Playhouse, Albany
