Question

What are some colleges that are known for having great drama programs. Colleges that have had many successful actors. Also, what does it take to get into these college's programs.

Answer 1

University of Southern California for sure.

I believe that Notre Dame has an excellent theatre program too.

Answer 2

Yale has a wonderful Drama Program.

So does Northwestern.

In order to get into programs like this you need excellent grades, participation in your High School and community theatre productions and great recommendations.

You could also go the route of a "Professional" school like Julliard or American Academy of Dramatic Arts...they also want good grades, experience and also require you to audtion for them.

Good luck!!!!!
