I have a lot of actors in my life and the most successful of these people (and we are talking highly successful by any standard) doesn’t really believe in going to school for acting. He feels that kids should major in English or History or Psychology - read the great books, learn about the world and about people. Certainly take theater classes, but keep yourself grounded and learning about everything. So, my daughter’s backup is to do just that - study something else, but keep a connection to acting by minoring at one of her safeties with a BA program. Certainly she’d be heartbroken to not do a BFA because it’s really what she loves, but she also knows that one can be a very successful actor without a BFA.
