<p>I was an English major who got a certificate in Creative Writing, but it was a toss-up for me to choose between Creative Writing and The Program in Theater and Dance (now Theater and Dance are separate certificates but back then they were combined). I wrote a novel for my senior thesis while also acting in six different plays and musicals between my junior and senior year. Two of those plays I also took to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland two summers in a row. In one of those plays I had a leading role which garnered a Festival award. I performed in Theatre Intime, Triangle, Princeton Summer Theater, and Princeton Abroad. All the productions I performed in were completely student run. Opportunities to participate in theater at Princeton abound, and the acting venues there are state of the art. If you get a certificate in Theater, for your senior thesis you could write, perform, and direct in a production of your creation. I don’t see how you could go wrong majoring in English with a certificate in Theater at Princeton.</p>
