STAGES: Stories from the BW Music Theater Program - Pt. 8

Pt. 8 - A behind the scenes look at the Junior Class Songwriter's Showcase of new music called "First Takes" both at Baldwin-Wallace and as the class takes the show on the road to Night Town in Cleveland Heights.

This documentary series follows the stories of the students and teachers of the acclaimed Baldwin-Wallace College Music Theatre Program led by Victoria Bussert. Produced by theater artist and documentarian Geoffrey Short, STAGES gives viewers unprecedented access to this exclusive program that draws the very best talent from around the country to this small private college in Berea, Ohio (just southwest of Cleveland). Graduates of this program often go on to careers on Broadway. Learn more about Baldwin-Wallace College at www.bw.edu.

I'm a junior in high school right now, and working hard to get into this program. I hope I'm good enough...

Shoot! Won't happen again! I took names right off the original program for First Takes! Happens to me too with "Geoff with a 'G'". Thanks for the correction.

Thanks so much for your nice comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. And it's true that BW is an amazing program...but I'm sure your decisions are right for you. No regrets! Only look forward right? Break a leg in everything and thanks again.- Geoff

I was going to audition for Baldwin Wallace's MT program, but settled for a local college that offered me a scholarship. I've been following this after searching vids from 'Wild Party', and I've been regretting my decision since. All of the teachers seem incredibly devoted to their students, which witnessing is a breath of fresh air to me. I'd love to become a transfer student, but I feel like I'd be too far behind.

Nevertheless, they're doing beautiful work and thank you for documenting this!

Oh no! So sorry! What's the correct spelling?
