My daughter was there 3 years ago as a theater design bfa for 2 years. She transferred to another school since they couldn’t support her current major anthropology. She comes from a known performance high school and did 4 years of musical theater and design,prior to college.

What specific are you looking for? Overall good training. First years get a bit of everything. Lots of behind the scene stuff to gain some experience. Over all productions are well done. The small black box shows more student driven, took more chances and really well done. The main stage one were mostly very good but not as chancy. But just looked at their current schedule and it looks really good.

They rotate the head of the theater department and this changes the dynamics a bit.

Talent level while she was there was fairly good. You always have a hit and miss person. You always have the high school star that doesn’t realize this isn’t high school anymore. You have the divas that realize no don’t do that… Lol…

My daughter knows kids from her program that are acting throughout the United States. All the behind the scenes kids seem to get jobs also. The school does have connections to Chicago and New York etc. But just don’t expect to be starring on Broadway anytime soon. Kids got acting internships at various places.
