I am on the HOPE scholarship and would like to stay in Georgia for school.
What are the best public colleges in GA, for theatre??
I am looking for a program with lots of resources but also some personal attention.
Thanks!

You're restrictions are very, well, restricting. I did a search for Georgia public 4-year colleges that offer a major in Drama/Theatre Studies and got 9 matches:

Armstrong State, Georgia Southern, UGA, Georgia Southwestern State, Western Georgia, Macon State, Kennesaw State, Georgia College, Columbus State

The only school of these nine that listed Visual and Performing Arts as a somewhat popular major is Columbus State. I did some more research. It's not that big, so you'll get some personal attention. However, it is not a particularly good school (the average SAT scores were about 500/category) so I'm guessing resources would be limited.

If you'd rather go with the better school over personal attention, go for Univ. of Georgia...it's one of the better flagship schools (I'd consider it second-tier...behind Virignia, UMich, Chapel Hill and more on a level with Maryland, Washington, Indiana). Even if theatre isn't amongst the school's top majors, with such a big school, there has to be a niche for you.

Hope I helped.

You might want to see who will offer you $ across the state line. I went to a little public university in Alabama (University of Montevallo), which has a great theater arts program and wonderful facilities. Rebecca Luker (tony nominated broadway star) and Polly Holliday (way too old for you to remember) both graduated from there.
