What the workbook helps with
The workbook follows the audition year in five acts.

Act II
Build Your List
Have the family budget conversation and research individual programs beyond basic admissions information.
Act III
Tell Your Story
Work through the Why This School? essay, supplemental materials, and the parts of an application that ask students to show who they are.
Act IV
Audition & Visit
Prepare for important conversations and capture what students notice and learn in audition rooms and on campus.
Act V
Decide
Compare programs, offers, finances, and fit when it is finally time to choose.
Worksheets you can print again for every school
Several packets are school-specific by design. Print a fresh copy for each program you research, visit, or apply to — as many times as you need for personal use.
- School Research & Discovery
- Why This School? Essay Workshop
- Beyond the Application
- Campus Visit Notes
- Conversations That Matter
The tracker holds the information. The workbook helps you think about what it means.
Curtain Call College Tracker handles the logistical side — schools, requirements, deadlines, auditions, costs, and results. The workbook is where the thinking happens: guided reflection, program research, the conversations worth having, and the decision at the end.
The workbook works completely on its own. Nothing else is required to use it.
