How do I help my D decide whether to apply for Dance or Theatre?

Now I am confused.

It seems as though the daughter can act AND dance AND sing.

This is what we call a “triple threat”. It’s a good thing.

So why doesn’t she at least consider going somewhere where she can declare her major as “Musical Theatre”, where there is a program specifically called “Musical Theatre”? We often abbreviate this as “MT” here on CC.

Then she won’t have to do the extra work of a “dual major”, and won’t have to choose between acting and dance. When I was a student at Columbia College Chicago, there were many Musical Theatre majors who were like your daughter, equally talented in acting and dance, and who also had some singing abilities.
