<p>Well, franklinbrown, you certainly have a nice “problem.” Congratulations!</p>
<p>At Princeton you can major in English with a theater focus: <a href=“http://web.princeton.edu/sites/english/new_web/documents/sophguide.pdf[/url]”>http://web.princeton.edu/sites/english/new_web/documents/sophguide.pdf</a> So it’s not a double major. </p>
<p>There is more theater than you will be able to participate in at Princeton. You need to count in the course offerings, the varied EC offerings, the plays students decide to direct and put on in their residential colleges. You can also do a creative thesis, which could be a one-person show or your own play or something else along those lines. Students have used grants from the university to research theater in Europe and come back to perform: <a href=“http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2004/04/08/arts/10184.shtml[/url]”>http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2004/04/08/arts/10184.shtml</a></p>
<p>Quite a few of the McCarter’s plays have moved to Broadway. Not sure that’s true of plays at Trinity Rep. But what’s probably more important is what kind of involvement an undergrad could have at either place. I would do some research on that. Brown has excellent undergrad theater. I don’t think you’d decide between Brown and Princeton on the basis of theater, but on the basis of overall campus atmosphere. That said, Princeton has a lot more financial resources for a creative undergrad looking for funding for interesting stuff. </p>
<p>I would contact admissions at each of the schools you’re really interested in and ask them to put you in touch with theater students.</p>
