Sydney Beaty

Sydney Beaty, known for her roles as Cinderella from “Into the Woods,” Sarah in “Guys and Dolls,” as well as an extraordinary soprano in Seattle Prep’s choir, has decided to continue to pursue her passion in fine arts at a college tailored to her aspirations.

Beaty applied to 25 schools located within the US ranging from Loyola Marymount University to Syracuse. She began her application process by submitting prescreens. These prescreens showcased her singing abilities and performance of monologues. She explained, “if they like what you submit, they will call you to do it in person.” The in-person audition can take place in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

When asked what her day would look like as a college student who is fully committed to her future as an artist, she responded that a typical day would consist of “singing class, acting class, dance choreography, and then rehearsals at the end of the day. Each class is pretty small…about ten girls and ten guys.” While this might seem daunting, she emphasized that it is an important part of the preparation for her future artistic endeavors.
Beaty credited much of her preparedness for this journey to Prep’s education. The art program and its teachers have played a crucial role in nurturing her talents and enabling her to develop into the aspiring artist she is today. She explained that because Prep has challenged her and forced her to balance school, arts, family, and friends she is confident and prepared for whatever college she finds best fits her.

Beaty will be traveling to Chicago and Los Angeles for live auditions in February. Break a leg, Sydney!
