It’s a great theatre, I love that building; the only thing is, it doesn’t seem to have changed since I majored in theatre there, 25 years ago. I mean, even the colors are the same, and the carpet. I felt like I was in a time warp when I walked in, which was great for me, but somewhat odd, considering how very much almost every other facility (except Seelye) has changed. (And somebody needs to do something about the courtyard, but then, that’s the same too–and it’s also odd, considering how well-cared for the plantings are in the rest of campus, that these are weedy, overgrown, and dried-out.)
The theatre department is fantastic; great people, great classes. My D’s roommate is a musical theatre major now, and she’s quite happy there, and planning to take a term at the Eugene O’Neill center Junior year.
