Ha, I guess we’ll see. Adelphi has an excellent dance dept and quite good music, including vocal music. D is finding her voice lessons there extremely valuable, and her standards are very high. Many of the faculty in the theatre dept are personally quite devoted to MT, including the dept chair; D is taking an MT performance elective this spring and loving it. So I wouldn’t consider Adelphi on “the other side,” certainly not a place where MT is scoffed at. But I would say - for anyone who is curious - they are 100% devoted to educating actors and well-rounded theatre people, with MT as a focus pretty far down on their list of priorities. I suppose someone could minor in dance or music, if they had APs and could breeze through the gen eds. But they don’t even mount MT shows on a regular basis; this year they are doing Little Shop of Horrors, the first mainstage musical in several years.
