In past years, Ithaca has seen kids who applied for MT and then asked them if they were interested in an Acting slot. But that doesn’t mean everyone who applied for MT will be automatically considered for Acting.
Please know, though, that the Acting and MT kids are fully integrated. They take the same classes for the first two years (the major difference is that the MT kids have voice as well). In junior year, the Acting kids go to London the first semester, and the MT kids go second semester. Senior year they still take classes together. So, they basically get the same acting training, and all Acting and MT majors are required to audition for all musicals and plays. The faculty really mix up the casting, so in any one show, there is usually a mix of MTs and Acting students.
