[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most schools have theater. Just ask as you go on tours and narrow down your selections.  [/quote]

You don't randomly go on tours.
Need to do a lot of research, narrow down, go on tours, then select schools to apply. [/quote]

NP. I don’t think PP was saying to randomly go on tours? I think they were saying that when you are on tours, ask about theater.

I have a kid very much like OP’s, and this is what they did. Is a total theater kid, loves it, but doesn’t have any career aspirations. So they looked at schools holistically but made sure to ask about theater opportunities on the tours. It was helpful to see whether the tour guides knew anything; at schools where there’s a robust theater scene, the tour guides usually said something like, “Oh, I’m not in theater, but I have a lot of friends who are” or “I’ve seen some great productions” or “There are a bunch of student theater groups,” etc. At schools with less robust theater scenes, the tour guides were much less likely to have anything specific to say.

Wesleyan and Vassar are great options, OP—both have really deep theater/performing arts cultures, and you don’t need to be a major to get involved in school- or student-run productions. Have also heard good things about Macalester.[/quote]
