[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would your recommendations change if kid wants to pursue a minor in theater but major in something else such as Business of Technology? Kid has a flair for theater, actively pursues/participates but does not want to major in it in college.[/quote]

For a minor, I would avoid conservatory programs that usually restrict opportunities to BFA or MFA candidates. Larger schools with BAs may also have some restrictions. It's worth a call to the department because whether they restrict opportunities to majors isn't always obvious.

Liberal arts colleges will usually provide ample opportunities for a minor to get involved and access interesting classes and good training. Wes, Vassar, Bard, Skidmore come to mind.

Or, kid may choose a school that isn't known for theatre but attracts students who want to do theatre among other things (like U Rochester) or be a key factor in a small theatre dept if they choose a schoot with more tech focus (like RIT).

I'm the theatre prof who posted earlier. I haven't made any recs for OP yet because she hasn't said what type of program they're looking for (unless I missed that). There are so many options out there when it comes to theatre.

Good luck![/quote]
