Q&A - With former students who are now in college and parents who have been through this process.
"Students looking to pursue a college degree in acting or musical theatre have a unique college audition journey ahead of them. It is much less stressful for parents and students if they can educate themselves early and map out a plan. Vivian and Francie have their fingers on the pulse of what universities are looking for as they have successfully coached multiple students in the Bay Area on this process. Vivian was instrumental to our daughter’s success and her ability to navigate a wide range of application, prescreen, and audition opportunities. She is now thriving in her musical theatre program and is so glad that she worked with Vivian throughout this journey. Finding the right fit BA or BFA program is so important and Vivian and Francie are the perfect guides!"
