Yesterday I got into Harvard's MFA in Acting, and today I did my audition for THE Actors Studio (affiliated with Pace University)...
...AND GOT IN!
Once again, beyond happiness and excitement and disbelief. They told me straight away - minutes after I walked out the room. Said they wanted "something nice for me to fly home with" and offered me a position starting this fall.
Whaaaat!?
So happy. The course co-presidents of the school are Academy Award Winners Al Pacino (Glengarry, The Godfater), Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Thelma & Louise), and Ellen Burnstyn (Requiem for a Dream, The Exorcist).
The curriculum is so focused on Acting - without any particular focus on a specific medium (TV, Film or Theatre) - which is what I've been hopelessly searching for in the theatre-crazed city.
AND students take part in the famous James Lipton Series: Inside The Actors Studio, of which, this is one of my all-time favorites:
(Oh, and two Alumnimunimni are nominated at the Oscars this year: Bradley Cooper and Sally Field).
So, dreams are coming true.
