<p>Thanks so much sooziet! You answered my questions. By “live” theatre I did mean stage, not screen. My S is only just beginning thinking of this as he is only in 10th grade, but his school has an outstanding theatre program and sends quite a few kids each year to Tisch. I just don’t know that much about it as none of my other kids have ever been interested in the arts. I have to say I have heard both good and bad about Tisch from the kids who have went there from our HS. Some absolutely LOVED it and had an incredible experience, and some others left after one year. I will let my S decide for himself what he thinks before he applies. We live in CA so NY is a LONG way away. He has already stated that he would like to go to NY for college. He is definitely a fit for the city, just don’t know yet about the school. He is doing his application right now fot the summer program, and if he doesn’t get cast in on Old Globe play he is auditioning for this week, he would love to go. I think it would give him a taste of what Tisch is all about.</p>
