Broadway Theatre Project Begins! Day 1

Broadway Theatre Project kicks off today with Patrick Wilson giving master classes. Resident Faculty Member and alum Neil Patrick Stewart guest blogs:

"As always, BTP is off with a running start! It's amazing to see nearly 200 fresh faces descend upon USF like a musical theatre army! As I type, they are in the other room grilling BTP alum Patrick Wilson on his myriad achievements, laughing and clapping at his witty anecdotes and infinite charm.

Today we'll put them through the ringer, as they audition separately for each of the vocal, dance, and acting departments. The schedule will get no less difficult for these students- it's a good thing that this summer they have swanky digs: hopefully a full-service hotel will allow them more rest than a crowded campus dorm!

The faculty is here and rarin' to go- just like the program and its new festival format, the teachers have come this summer with new, creative ideas and unique collaborations.

It's going to be a great summer!"
