<p>My S and I went out to Louisville, KY for the New American Playwright festival at Acting Studio. There are many american plays that have gotten their start there. We saw about 6 plays, and the after reading the bio’s of all the actors in the company I can tell you that 3/4 of them had BA’s followed by MFA’s. It shocked me how many BA’s from relatively unknown schools. I agree with Octavier… go where you feel you will be the happiest. I know quite a few kids who didn’t know exactly what they were in for with NYU, and were not happy. </p>
