The American Theatre Wing is now accepting applications for its 2009 SpringboardNYC Program, to be held on June 1 - 12, 2009 in New York City. At this two week college-to-career transition program, students have the opportunity to participate in training sessions and workshops in preparation for finding jobs in the New York theatre community while living in New York. Taught by industry professionals, sessions include on-your-feet audition training with directors and casting directors and seminars with the industry's leading agents and managers, as well as intimate conversations with working actors.
SpringboardNYC mentor Michael Emerson (Ben Linus on TV's "Lost," Off Broadway's Gross Indecency) said about the program, "When I was young, all discussions of the business seemed to me to be either too hard-bitten or too mystical. It scared me and I wondered where or how I would ever fit in. I like the way SpringboardNYC facilitates a conversation between generations of theater people."

That is torturous for me to read every year, knowing that Michael's going to be there, talking to the students around my birthday!
