<p>Thank you both! I did start wading through the the giant Theatre thread, and had lready seen the discussion from KatMT…good stuff. Gives me alot to think about. That was kind of my original thought, that I should begin in MT, see how it goes as a performer and work my way into directing. </p>
<p>But all of this MT audition stuff seems so overwhelming and everyone is so incredibly plugged in and focused!! Although I have what I consider lots of experience compared to the kids I know personally, these postings make me feel really behind. I guess you’d say it is about raw talent, but I feel like a beauty-pagent contestant without a stylist…do I have a chance??? </p>
<p>And truly, I could see myself directing lots of stuff…musical theatre is my first love, but I might also want to try commercials and maybe music videos and of course musicals for tv or movies. So I definitely think a more well-rounded LAC education (at a school with a good TV/film department also) seems a better fit than a specific MT degree. </p>
<p>But now I’m back to square one…what school is that? I’m bad at making sense out of curriculum pages…all colleges sell themselves as the best…I need you all to help me narrow down the list. Thanks for your suggestions so far.</p>
