<p>It’s funny, but my daughter has the exact same interests. Knox College graduated a physics/theater double-major last year. My daughter is going to a different CTCL school.</p>
<p>My recommendation would be not to look for a major in astrophysics at the undergraduate level. Instead get a solid grounding in physics with a few astronomy courses added in, and then go to grad school in astrophysics. I say this because my experience with astronomy grad students at a major university is that their biggest weakness is the lack of a really solid physics background, and your son will also have many more options if he majors in physics instead of limiting himself to schools that have an astrophysics major.</p>
<p>As far as specific schools go, Grinnell has an active theater department, an observatory on campus, and because Grinnell doesn’t have traditional distribution requirements, schedules are freer and a lot of students double-major.</p>
