@Mooshi22 I think what she is looking for is completely reasonable and a wonderful goal. It was not on my students’ list of “wants” at the beginning of the season but it was certainly there at the end. I went through three colleges myself (40 years ago) to find the right spot for me that was a positive, collaborative experience. My first college theatre experience was a toxic, misogynistic environment. Yes, this industry will always have a competitive nature to it. That is the way it is. But finding a program that promotes mental wellness, respect and camaraderie among the students is something important to look for in a program. That doesn’t mean it can’t be rigorous and require hard work at the same time.
