does anyone know some good preforming art colleges......preferably in musical theatre?
Pat Hingle (Commissioner Gordon- Batman) once told me that you should pick a school (any school) that would allow you to spend the most time on stage - You can spend thousands of dollars on a conservatory program and be asked to do things like befriend a lacrosse ball for a semester (I am not making this up) and then be dismissed from the program after two years. This happened to a good friend of mine. (And yes, they keep your money.) Do some research, meet the faculty, see the theaters they have, talk to the students there. Then decide. You may want a lacrosse ball as a friend.
relies upon the place you reside fairly. The Royal Welsh college of music Drama does all of those. Many celebrities all started out there. situation is, it rather is in Cardiff. not in all probability responsive to any others sorry. wish I helped.
I don't know about in musical theatre, but try Savannah College of Art and Design
Some of the top schools are: Cincinnati Conservatory of Music Carnegie Mellon Boston Conservatory Hartt School of Music New York University Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory Ball State University Ithaca College Westminster Choir College Shenandoah Conservatory Belmont University These are not the only good programs, they are just known as some of the best. If money isn't a concern, I highly recommend any of these schools. However, some of them are as high as $30,000 a year. What you can do is learn about the schools and see if there is a state school in your area that offers the same curriculum and has good teachers. I agree with the other poster who said its good to go somewhere where you can be on the stage. Many of the bigger name schools have lots of competition. There are shows to do outside of the school, but that also takes work to arrange. Start a list of schools you are interested in that may not be the big name schools, and ask around about them. There are a lot of good programs out there.
