Our History

The Inspiration and Foundation Behind CAP

Where We Started

Founded in 2015

Drew Boudreau was a working actor when he took on a side gig teaching at the prestigious Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA). While there, he saw firsthand the overwhelming stress students faced as they prepared for college auditions. It took Drew back to his own experience—one marked by a lack of guidance and a whole lot of luck. He got into his one college simply by chance, and that memory sparked a realization: no student should have to go through this daunting process alone.

Driven by that mission, Drew founded College Audition Pros in 2015 with the goal of supporting families in navigating the complexities of college auditions. From identifying schools that align with each student's budget, training goals, and campus preferences, to helping them make connections with the industry, Drew's commitment to personalized guidance has been at the heart of the company. What started as a passion project quickly grew into a comprehensive service, addressing every aspect of the audition journey.

Since its founding, College Audition Pros has helped over 200 students gain acceptance to renowned programs, including Boston Conservatory, NYU, Texas State, and Pace. With a 99% success rate of students getting into one or more of their top-choice schools, Drew’s vision continues to inspire future performers and their families, offering a clear path to achieving their college dreams.
