<p>Disclosure: I am the mom of a kid about to graduate from Tisch (she started in CAP21, the musical theater studio at the time – fall of 2008 – and switched to Stonestreet, a film and TV acting studio). </p>
<p>One thing to consider with Tisch that I think is an advantage is that you <em>start</em> in the studio to which you were assigned by the auditors (and Atlantic is a GREAT studio, by the way) and after two years of foundational training, you have the option to transfer to another studio to explore another approach, which is not something available at most BFA programs. My daughter, as I said above, began in the musical theater studio but wanted to explore screen acting, so made the move at the end of her third year to Stonestreet. Other kids from her class at CAP21 moved to Classical Studio or Experimental Theatre Wing. In other words, you have, under the auspices of Tisch Drama, the opportunity to explore an entirely different approach to acting as you go along. That’s valuable.</p>
