<p>I highly recommend Abilene Christian University. My daughter is a freshman there this year and absolutely loves it. Early in the application process, she had her eyes on NY schools also. However, after reviewing the shows they performed, she began to have concerns about whether her faith would allow her to be involved in some of them. ACU’s program is centered on helping students wrestle with exactly that issue and their productions are first rate. Even though it doesn’t get much of a mention on this board, it is a quality program and, except for being in a big city, seems to meet the criteria your daughter wants in a MT program.
