Top Theater Schools, not Musical Theater?

<p>We just visited UCLA and it looked like very exciting. Princeton Review ranks the Film, Theater and Television school at UCLA first out of 500 nationally. MT is one of several “areas of interest.” The others are acting, design/production, directing, general theater, playwriting, and teaching. It’s a BA program and UCLA’s academics are well respected, too. Obviously, there is a bias toward the film industry and if you or your S or D’s dream is to be on stage and nothing else, it’s probably not the right place. We thought it was a great department in a great school.</p>
