Hear From Musical Theatre Students

“Carthage has 100 percent lived up to my high expectations and given me so many outlets to perform and watch my peers.”

“It was really important to me to choose a college where I could have a relationship with my professors, and at Carthage, I feel like I’ve built those relationships already.”

“The wonderful thing about Carthage is that there are many different types of performance opportunities, so if you don’t get cast in a show right away, there are other opportunities to audition and perform within the department.”

“It is beautiful. I feel like I am on vacation every time I walk to class because of how pretty the lake looks.”

“When trying to make my college decision, I was tasked with finding a college that could push me to my fullest potential and one I could see myself calling home for four years. Carthage, by far, checked both those boxes.”

“Performing at Carthage has been such a rewarding experience and has given me more knowledge of how a professional performing environment operates.”

“Carthage is a college that provided me with a great education in multiple areas of study. While most other schools are known for either their music or STEM programs, Carthage has great programs for both.”

“My advisors and professors have encouraged me to take risks and take advantage of opportunities that are presented to me. They have helped me grow as a student and as an artist.”

“I look at videos of my performances or essays and compare them to where I am now, and it’s so refreshing to see how much experience I’ve gained and how much I learned.”
