Theatre Schools/Colleges with Excellent Theatre Programs?

Question

The title basically explains my question. I'm looking to transfer to a college that is known for having an excellent theatre department [specifically musical theatre]. I would like to attend a place that is also known for helping it's students branch out into the industry.

Help a thespian out! :]

Answer 1

see my answer to the question regarding the best music theatre schools in North Dakota and Fla. 18 questions down from yours.Come to think of it, I doubt that any good programs would transfer much of what you already have, as they will want you to do their program.

Answer 2

Tisch School of the Arts has very good arts programs, including its theatre program (and I believe musical theatre, but I'm not sure). Plus it's right in NYC, so you'll be exposed to that aspect as well. However, it's INCREDIBLY expensive, so be prepared to break the bank.

Also look into Carnegie Mellon, which supposedly has a good theatre program. Ithaca (also in NY) has a great program also.

Hope this helped!
