[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So listen, schools are great but what's the end run? You major in theater, presumably, to act. Focusing so much on the college seems somewhat disconnected from the path to the ultimate thing. Which one of these choices gets you closest in proximity to the thing?[/quote]

Again, was not looking for these types of opinions on theater as a course of study.  There are absolutely colleges that create a path into the theater and performing arts world.[/quote]

Was not commenting on course of study. My own DS is theater at NYU Tisch and I am a director. So definitely was not suggesting college is not a path. Was suggesting the choice of college should match the desired path in the most effective way. We chose NYU (over UCLA, USC and DePaul) because their approach to entering the business seemed more in line with his goals, as well as physical proximity to jobs and auditions and networking. That's what I mean. This is 2023 and content drives everything, so I think the field is actually the economy driver of both now and the future. So go for it, but just dig into how connected the school is to the business. not just the training.[/quote]
