@AmazingBlue my D is a First Year Vocal Performance BM candidate in the Conservatory at Oberlin. I don’t know much about Theater there, but I get the sense that there is a lot going on and shows are very accessible to all students (though most are audition based). As a VP major, my D won’t have time for standard Theater (for the most part) but she did just spend her Winter Term (the month of January) working with theater students on a Musical Theater Showcase which will be performed later this month. Also, I know she was invited to audition for the Spring musical (but again, her schedule won’t allow for that as a Con student). Also, since Oberlin is known for their Creative Writing department, I think you’ll find that a lot of student writing and directing projects are going on all the time! Maybe a current Oberlin student, or recent graduate, can elaborate? Certainly, Oberlin is a magnet for creative, musically and theatrically talented young adults, even though many of them are pursuing degrees in other disciplines.
