Older theatre student?

I don’t have anything useful to add except this anecdotal example: my daughter is a freshman at Fordham, which has an auditioned BA program. She told me that one of her fellow freshmen in the program is 29 years old. He was in the military and then worked in theater for a few years before deciding to audition for acting school. From what she told me, he fits in fine. The other thing I can tell you is that I teach in a university (not theater, however) where I see some nontraditional age students (many much older than you.) Not only do they fit into my classes, they are often the most interesting and deep-thinking students.
