​As many of you know, Little Miss Field Day is currently attending Point Park University. She's been trying to get into the Musical Theatre program in the Conservatory of Performing Arts at the school, but it's been tough. They only take a handful of applicants into that program (last year, over 1200 kids auditioned, they only took about 35). So, she decided to attend as an Undecided freshman, and audition again.

She did audition again in November.

A little over a week ago, she got the news. No. She was heartbroken... But she didn't give up.

They also have a program in COPA called Technical Theatre. That's the "backstage" stuff -- costumes, backgrounds, lighting, makeup, the whole bit. So several of her friends (she's on a floor full of COPA majors), a few of whom are in the program, convinced her to talk to the man in charge of the program.

She finally got to talk with him yesterday afternoon, 1:30 appointment. Took that long because he was in charge of the week long performance of "The Drowsy Chaperone" that wrapped up Sunday at the Playhouse.

LMFD told us last night that the interview, which included her portfolio of artwork she's done over the years, went well. It was long, almost 2 hours, but comprehensive. And she'd know something in a week to 2 weeks, most likely in 10 days.

2:30 this afternoon, she gets the email. "Congratulations! You have been artistically admitted to the Theatre Program in COPA!"

WOO HOO!

And boy, are we relieved. Not that we lost faith, we know her talent after all, but still...
