STUDENT TESTIMONIAL:

Rachel Munoz VITERBO UNIVERSITY Why did you choose to attend Viterbo University and why did you select this major?

I originally planned on becoming an architect.

But as graduation approached, I couldn’t accept that my last performance ever was coming up.

I knew I would always regret not trying for a career in theatre. Once I started auditioning, seeing classes, and attending collegiate theater, I knew I couldn’t do anything else.

I decided on Viterbo when I was at a college fair. While papers, folders, and merch were being shoved into my hands, the Viterbo team was the only one that asked me what I actually wanted in my education. At Viterbo, I could choose things that I wanted to study beyond the courses required for my major. The professors have the time to know you as a student, as a person, and as an artist. Soon it was days packed with learning, rehearsal, study and more rehearsal.

What was a typical day like?

A typical day might look like this: • Dance class in the morning, followed by a voice lesson or an Arts Administration class.

• If I had time, I’d schedule rehearsal time with my scene partners.

• Then I’d grab an Einstein’s bagel or munch on my packed lunch before choir.

• Next, I’d take the elevator from the 4th floor to the lower level for acting classes in the black box theatre.

• Then I would have Theatre History and Literature class and end my afternoon with Acting Studio or Platinum Edition rehearsals.

• Finally, I’d make time to eat dinner with friends and take a breath before starting rehearsal in the evening.

What was the most memorable moment of your time at Viterbo?

Of course, actually making theatre together was the most rewarding part of my time at Viterbo. One of the most memorable moments came while I was directing a one-act with some underclassmen.

I remember sitting in the booth, mouthing the lines we’d worked so hard on. The laughing audience couldn’t get enough of it, and the actors began to feed off the energy, creating more fabulous moments. I’ve been an actor and an audience member but sitting in the director’s seat for the first time made me fall in love with theater all over again.

What did you hope to get out of the program, and did you achieve it?

I wanted three things out of my college studies.

1. A deep understanding of strengths and weaknesses: Oh man, this one was the most challenging to experience because acting is such a personal craft. Luckily, the people around me never let me off the hook, so I was able to push myself every day.

2. Dissection of craft: I’ve been challenged to explore a variety of methods, reflect on my own processes, and carve out my own understanding of character-building and storytelling.

3. A strong network after graduation: My agent is actually a Viterbo graduate who is connecting me not only with people in New York but also with people within the market I’m heading to first, in Washington, D.C. What advice do you have for teens looking for the right college?

When it comes to choosing where you’ll study, pay attention to how college recruitment talks to you. If you’re going to be just a number in a sea of other numbers, it’s incredibly difficult to explore who you are as an artist and make progress. When you graduate, having your own artistry is way more important in this industry than becoming a cookie cutter actor to dress up a set.

If I had any further advice for students preparing to major in theatre, it would be two things: Pursue some music study if you can.

I wasn’t a music theatre major, but there’s so much music in theatre.

Also: Read plays. You can never, never, never read enough plays when you’re an actor, so start now!

With help from Professor Page and accompanist Louis Goldberg, Milika worked daily to build her repertoire. She learned five songs each week! Milika also worked closely with Acting for Film, Television and Theatre program faculty Trent Blanton and Miriam Mills.

Milika Griffiths RIDER UNIVERSITY

“These are people who know the business. They gave me my repertoire and gave me confidence in my acting. They helped me get out of my shell and onto the stage.”

In April 2015, Milika took a one-hour train ride to Chelsea Studios for an open call audition for the Tony-winning musical Ragtime. After two callbacks, she was offered an ensemble role.

“Rider’s location is absolutely critical for theatre majors. I would never have toured with Ragtime if I hadn’t gone to Rider. When I walked into that audition I was fearless and confident. I knew I had the education and preparation. It was amazing. I was so excited!”

Milika returned to Rider following the 2015-16 national tour of Ragtime and graduated in Spring 2017. After graduation she traveled to Maine where she performed for Ogunquit Playhouse in the new musical From Here to Eternity. In 2018, she joined the Disney Cruise Line as a MainStage performer. In 2020, she joined the multi awardwinning hit Broadway musical, Hamilton.

STUDENT TESTIMONIAL:

Natalie Papa THE LIVERPOOL INSTITUTE FOR PERFORMING ARTS (LIPA) Why did you choose to attend this college and select this major?

LIPA seemed so different from the other universities and programs I was looking into (which were focused on jazz and theory). What I loved about LIPA was that you can mold the program to your needs and that it helps you to grow and market your music outside of the classroom. I managed to visit LIPA before applying and I connected well with the program, particularly the small classes and how it replicates the industry with Music, Management and Sound Technology students working together to put on productions.

What did you hope to get out of the program, and did you achieve it?

I wanted to become a gigging musician who releases music and feel confident in my abilities as an independent artist.

At LIPA I started my band Natalie and the Monarchy and that has majorly contributed to my development. My teachers had years of industry experience and I was able to connect with the Liverpool music scene, which is one of the friendliest music communities I’ve been part of. Now, I’m still working my way up, but I have music and music videos out, gigs with good line ups, and have built up a network of other bands, promoters, venues and press. I’m not sure I would have been able to do that pre-LIPA. Did you have to prepare for this major in any way? If you didn’t, do you wish you did?

I really wish there was a way to prepare for sleeping under a mixing desk at 3am, while my bandmates record their 37th take; eating cake with my hands, in devil drag, on camera; and meeting all the incredible (but insane) people during my time at LIPA. I don’t think there are a whole lot of ways to prepare except I wish I learnt to cook before moving away from home. Other than that, it was all trial and error for me.

What was a typical day like?

It usually starts with a morning lecture, maybe on songwriting, or a seminar on theory or music professional practice, or maybe a vocal repertoire class.

After a break I’ll then go to one of the practice rooms with a friend and have a jam or one of the workstations to work on production until I have my vocal one-toone with the lovely Christina or a production class.

Then, depending on what day it is, I might have a band rehearsal, Jukebox Shuffle (it’s karaoke with a live band and you get graded on it if you’re a vocalist), or a performance for The 2ube (LIPA’s weekly gig night).

What was the most memorable moment of your time at this college?

Seeing Paul McCartney in the hallway was surreal and watching Damon Albarn describe an elephant birth he witnessed has to be up there!

What advice do you have for teens looking for the right college?

Your transition into young adulthood and starting a creative career is all about getting out of your comfort zone. You have all the time in the world to get from point A to point B so might as well have fun doing it.

Reputation and ascetics in a university only goes so far when you’re studying a creative field. Pick a program based on what you feel you’re lacking and would like help growing. Everything else will adapt and follow.

Overall, you’re picking the best environment for change.
