The WKU Department of Theatre & Dance will present a showcase, featuring students in their senior year of the B.F.A. Performing Arts (Acting and Musical Theatre) and B.A. Theatre programs in January 2018 in New York City. This New York Senior Showcase places WKU Theatre & Dance alongside many of the top theatre and dance programs in the country. The showcase will feature 18 students, each performing three minutes of material, including monologues, musical theatre songs, contemporary commercial songs, duets, etc. After the showcase, students will network with and solicit feedback from invited agents, casting directors, coaches, directors, and other industry professionals. They will also have the opportunity to connect with other WKU alumnae, who can potentially help them establish themselves as theatre professionals in New York and beyond.

​

The NYC showcase will be a transformative experience for many of our students. Students wishing to perform in the showcase must work diligently over four years to attain the skills necessary for this capstone experience. This trip provides opportunities for students:

• to be seen by New York casting directors, talent agents, managers.

• to network with WKU alumni in NYC.

• to experience what it means to perform live in New York City.

• to audition for shows casting during the time they are in the city.

• to get an introduction to the city where they may relocate to after graduation.

• to be celebrated for the great work they have been doing in the WKU Theatre & Dance Department with a public performance just blocks from Broadway.
