My daughter did a precollege summer dance intensive and loved it. Figured I would chime in with what I know but she auditioned for dance and not theatre for Cornish (she had a diverse list of college choices).

Dorms are new and facilities are recently renovated. I can’t speak to the theatre program but it is an arts college with the creative intensity my daughter enjoyed. She met many of the current students in all the arts and was impressed by their talents and collaborative projects between disciplines. Nice location in the city with shuttles to get you around- I felt great about my 15 year old running around. Seattle is also an interesting theatre city as some shows are launched in workshop theatre and 5th Avenue theatre provides student opportunities (not sure Cornish policy on auditioning during college). I did hear it was a good city to build towards equity prior to moving to NYC but I am not an expert on that process.
