CP 201_: a thread for college program hopefuls who have to wait a few years.

Maybe front desk at a resort?

That's what I was kind of thinking, like guest relations or something? The reason I ask is because a lot of pr/journalism majors require an internship and obviously my first choice is disney A PI would be ideal, but it's almost impossible to get one without doing the cp from what I hear...

Yeah, I've haerd the same thing. If you want a PI, you had better have done the CP first. I think front desk sounds kind of interesting and I've read some blogs about it and people say its definitely not boring. I would give it a shot if I were you.

Can you post the links to the blogs?

I'm still here! I was in NYC this past week for spring break/dance competition, so I had really limited internet access.

We got the chance to meet the cast of Wicked (which was phenomenal) after the show, and ask them questions about dancing, singing, and auditioning for Broadway. It was so cool. We also met one of the dancers for In The Heights (another Broadway show), and took a hip-hop class from her. We learned the choreography for the song "96,000." We also got to ask her questions. And, after the show, we got to meet Corbin Bleu (who starred in In The Heights)! It was amazing.

That sounds really cool! Wicked and In the Heights are my favorite Broadway shows

I've been busy myself as well, that's why I've really barely posted. I was the student director for my high school's spring musical (it was Once Upon A Mattress this year) so my days have been spent pretty much living at my school for the past few months. It just ended, and even though it was a ton of fun and I'll miss it a lot next year, I'm glad to be able to get my usual sleep schedule back on track! But anyway, now I hope to be posting a lot more. I'm officially going to SUNY Purchase in the fall (well kind of officially. I'm still trying to see if I can get financial aid for my top school. but I'll be happy no matter where I end up) and I honestly think about the CP, which will hopefully be Spring 2012 for me, every single day.

Thanks soooo much! What's your major in college? Do you think with a public relations major that I could still get accepted even though it says you need an emphasis on theatrical/performing arts?

Honestly, I'm not really sure. I'm majoring in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Theatre, and I think I should be a great candidate due to the fact that I've interned for Broadway producers and worked in Broadway theatres for a long time as well as being a former Disney employee. But you can't really know what they want, or who else may be applying that is more qualified.

It's worth a shot!
