Hello. My son was thrilled to be accepted with generous academic merit as well as an acting scholarship.

He loves acting and theater and has always planned to be involved as an EC at minimum. He is considering theater arts as a major , or part of a double major or minor, but is also interested in everything from polisci and philosophy to environmental sciences too. Thus his affinity for LACs.

Similarly, in regard to ECs, he absolutely has loved being a part of theater and the arts since 4th grade, and as I mentioned definitely plans to continue, but he also likes sports, community service, outdoor hiking/backpacking/biking, camping and plans to be involved in intramural sports.

In order to keep his acting scholarship, Wooster does have some reasonable requirements in terms of a minumum number of hours dedicated to involvement in theater. So , we were wondering how the theater/arts life is on campus? Do other students attend the shows and support them? What is the reputation of the Theater Arts/acting major at the College of Wooster?

When you spend a lot of time together , whether producing plays, playing sports, volunteering or whatever the interest, it is natural to end up hanging more with that group. Do theater arts kids tend to only hang out only together or do they typically branch out? I guess I am asking if Wooster tends to be 'cliqueish?" In HS my son has been active in so many things, including student government, intramurals, newspaper, and choir, as well as improv and theater, and has friends in every clique. H

Reading over this post, if he does attend The College of Wooster, I am so grateful for APEX , as my son will really need help organizing his time!! lol!

Thank you for any insight you have on the life of a student involved in theater, possibly a major at some point, at Wooster.
