<p>The University of New Hampshire in Durham offers a BA in Musical Theatre which is non-auditioned based. Part of their program consists of a traveling troupe that performs at local schools, hospitals, malls, etc. This traveling troupe also performs during the summer and if a student is cast, he/she gets free housing on campus in additon to a salary. My D was going to go there but decided that it was too rural for her. It is about an hour and a half drive from Boston, about 15 minutes away from Portsmouth and right near I-95. The campus is sprawling, beautiful and has many state-of-the-art facilities. Just thought I’d spread this info.</p>
