<p>Take a look at Hamline in St. Paul and Augsburg in Minneapolis. They both have good BA theatre programs. My daughter has worked with many of the Alums who work professionally in the field. Mankato has BFA’s in acting, MT and Tech. I’m not sure but probably not as competitive as U of MN. U of M Duluth specializes in MT. If you live near Mpls/St. Paul there are tons of theatre and small film opportunities to get your feet wet. Check out MN Playlist Classifieds online. Good Luck!</p>
