<p>We are like Emmybet now too; if we have time for the regular tour and feel we don’t know enough about the school we will try to do it but several times we have just visited the theater department and then made sure we ate at one of the cafeterias for lunch. Haven’t visited dorms, that might be a good idea if you don’t do the tour, if you have time.</p>
<p>We have been warmly received and every staff and faculty member we have seen have been willing to spend as much time as d needed to answer her questions and they have been most helpful. (she is careful to not to drag it out as she knows they are busy) I think it’s essential for theater majors to visit the department, because theater programs vary so much from school to school. Most of them have offered to send us comp tickets to any of their up coming shows, and had they a show open at the moment I’m sure they’d have offered them then. I only wish we had the time to take them up on their offers, because seeing a show at the school is a great idea. Many of the schools do plan their “theatre weekends” during which they have auditions during a show so you can catch one then.</p>
