What is so good about WAAPA!!!

lemon as a current waapa student about to go into 3rd music theatre in 2006 i find alot of what you said to be not only insulting but quite narrow minded. To say that waapa is currently only producing below par graduates is an extremely patronising comment and suggests your talents to far exceed ours. While studying at waapa i have come into contact (not only with people studying there in my time but past graduates as well) with some incredibly talented and successful people. People who have great work since graduating and who continue to uphold the standards the waapa name holds. And your comment about 50% being waapa grads and 50% being other people currently performing and working in shows, id say thats a pretty good percentage wouldnt you? I dont see that many vca or nida people working. Yes waapa is not the be all and end all of this industry and i happen to know people who have made it without waapa but nevertheless waapa shouldnt be discredited for the work it is doing. I sure hope youve seen all the recent grads perform before you make such harsh judgements. Or could it just be a case of sour grapes because u might have auditioned and been rejected? Give just a little credit to the hard working and unbelievably talented people who are currently at waapa.
