Ashland University has had a long history of graduating theatre artists that are working all over the country. Very small program, facilities are OK, but won’t blow anyone away. Faculty were (and likely still are) dedicated. It was more of a family than a program. Former students are now Artistic Directors, Actors on National Tours, Regional Theatres and beyond, designers winning awards from New York to L.A., there are also quite a few that chose to teach, including at Tulsa, Michigan State U (chair of the program), and many other universities small and large. Given that there are only about 40-45 majors in the program at any given time, it really has a nice record of success. University has hit a rough patch, like so many small liberal arts schools have, but they will bounce back quickly and be stronger for it. If what you want is a program that you’ll do everything from paint to produce, Ashland is the kind of program for you. It is a true generalist liberal arts program.
(disclaimer: I am the former chair of that program and while I don’t work there anymore, I still love what they stand for and who they are.)
