<p>I’ll let someone else come in and answer your specific questions, but…come to Princeton and do theatre (and theatre studies)! I hear Princeton theatre kids have so much fun doing what they’re doing, though I’m sure Yale is the same. My best friend is going to do theater studies at Yale, so we’re going to compare notes on the theater experiences at each of our schools. I have heard comments about the impracticality of Yale theater courses (especially intro courses), but the theoretical/in-depth nature of the clases could be a plus if that’s what you’d like to study.</p>
<p>According to a student in the Daily Prince, though the program at Princeton is small, those who are a part of it are really passionate about it and really intense. The courses are really practical and will offer you the chance to fine tune your abilities. That and the fact that you will be able to write/direct/act/whatever in your own play for the creative thesis you write senior year is…incredible.</p>
<p>You’re right, Princeton really is working to build up its theatre program (though this can be said for all creative arts departments/programs). Princeton, from what I’ve heard/researched, is pretty generous with funding student endeavors. There’s such a richness to the Princeton theater experience that I gathered upon talking to other students about it. It’s a vibrant community, and the shows attract good-sized crowds.</p>
<p>And Intime and Triangle rock hardcore. Come to Princeton! It’s nestled right between NYC and Philly, two cities that will offer unlimited opportunities to experience the theatrical life. I can’t wait to be a part of everything on campus and to see everything those two cities have to offer.</p>
