<p>Muhlenberg is a small (2500) LAC that has a strong theater program including a directing concentration. There is not a playwright program per se but there is a lot of support for student written plays. My daughter is a freshman theater major concentrating on acting and directing and is directing a student-written play as part of a student-written play festival. </p>
<p>While Muhlenberg is relatively expensive, there is substantial merit and talent aid available. Auditions are not required for admission but you do need to audition if you want a talent award. Its also a school that values “fit” and wants students who want to be there so visiting and having an interview is highly recommended.</p>
