<p>If you are going to East Carolina University I would suggest you check out Coastal Carolina University in Conway, SC. They are transfer friendly and a wonderful school with, I think, a great tech program. The head of the theatre department is a “techie” himself and their shows have wonderful production values. It is a small department - currently a little over 100 kids total - and very supportive. My D is a freshman MT major and LOVES it. Lots of opportunities for getting hands on experience both at the school and at Atlantic Stage.

<p>They are on spring break March 14 - 18 but I know my D has to be back on campus early (March 17 I think) for Philadelphia Story rehearsals so there will definitely be theatre people around that week, especially at the end of the break. Feel free to PM me if you would like more info. And your S can always contact my D if he has specific questions he would like answered by a current student.</p>
<p>Best of luck to your S and his friends! It sounds like a very busy week for them so hope it is productive!</p>
