Center Theatre Group to Host COLLEGE & CAREER FAIR FOR THE ARTS This April
Center Theatre Group invites current high school students, parents and teachers to attend the second annual "College & Career Fair for the Arts" on Saturday, April 22, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at The Music Center Annex located at 601 W. Temple St. in Downtown L.A.
Center Theatre Group will also be hosting the previously announced "Going Pro Career Fair" for college and university students on Saturday, April 8, 2017, at East Los Angeles College. Both events will give students the opportunity to explore education and career opportunities in the arts.
Center Theatre Group's "College & Career Fair for the Arts" is intended to help students navigate the transition from high school to college, and learn more about careers in the arts. More than 30 colleges, universities and organizations will be in attendance including the University of Southern California (USC), the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Fashion Careers International and more. The fair will include free workshops, a food truck with free lunch (12 to 2 p.m.) and opportunities for one-on-one college counseling and personal statement help.
The free workshops will give students the opportunity to learn about the college application process and what admissions staff are looking for; the FAFSA (Federal Application for Student Aid), student loans, scholarships and financial aid; and hear from professional theatre artists across the field, from designers to actors. Workshops are open to students only.
To RSVP to Center Theatre Group's "College & Career Fair for the Arts," students should email StudentBody@CTGLA.org with the following information: the student's full name, grade and school; which discussions they would like to attend; and if they are interested in participating in a 20-minute session with a college counselor or personal statement expert. Those who RSVP in advance will receive a free gift upon entry.
