About Our Founder
Ellen Lettrich, M.S., CCC-SLP
Our founder, Ellen Lettrich, has been working with young musical theatre and acting performers for 34 years, first as a high school classroom teacher and theatre director and, after receiving her M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology, as a medical voice therapist.
​
Her diverse teaching experiences led her to found Musical Theatre College Auditions (MTCA), a college theatre audition preparation company.
Through her work with MTCA, Ellen saw how difficult it can be for low-income students and those from underrepresented communities to access the information and financial resources needed to be competitive in the audition process for college-level acting and musical theatre programs.
​
Ellen founded The Fund for College Auditions to bridge this information and financial gap: to support the expenses that are part of college auditions, to provide fair compensation to experienced, innovative, student-centered teaching artists who can help these students excel artistically, and to subsidize college audition information workshops for underserved high schools and theatre groups.
