1) the colleges have budgets for many things. If there is someone who wants to put on a production, they petition for funds and voila. A play is born. If no one or no group decides to do this then no play. It's not every college every year for sure. I've never heard of ANY plays that don't BEG for auditions from everyone (not just in the hosting college). Actors, production people, etc. These are the most grass-roots level of college productions. There are others that are certainly "more legit". The Dramat, the graduate Drama school, many other theatres -- great for viewing. I doubt that they have many openings for people not in their schools or non-professionals.
There are no MINORS at Yale. Note this or you'll sound like you didn't do your homework.
2) The area around campus and downtown is very bustling w/lots of restaurants and shops and theatres. The city proper isn't so attractive to the avg Yalie. There are some tougher neighborhoods not to far from campus too. |
