Okay, reviving last year's thread started to cause me a panic.

THEATRE
75 auditioned
46 first callback
33 second callback
28 third callback
?? Interviews/test/arts night

Where? I’m not seeing this info…

Acceptd / Schedule / Timeslots - you can see how many signed up for each step.

Much smaller program that attracts students who are really serious about costume design and construction/tech. They like to see a lot of backstage experience so only those who are serious apply and progress.

I guess that makes sense, especially compared to something like visual arts where so many kids take art in school anyway. I wonder how many of the 116 kids who auditioned for VA are actually going to make the cut.

I think they normally take 20-24. 😬

There are roughly 140-150 students per grade (average), perhaps a little less, divided among 7 disciplines, so around 20-ish per dept (again on average)

It looks like Museum Studies only had 15 kids audition…which seems really low.

Average is right, but there are now 8 disciplines and 160-170 per grade according to latest DCPS enrollment audit.

My kid is TDP freshman this year, and I think there were around 45 that auditioned last year. The total class is less that half <20, and less than the number of seats that were offered in the lottery. For sure backstage experience is a factor.

How does the average kid get access to backstage experience before high school? I don’t know about your kids’ school, but mine doesn’t even have a theatre.
