<p>You should take a look at Brandeis. As far as whether a program has a training orientation rather than theory you will need to research each of the schools to see what the curriculum offers. I have a feeling the more training oriented acting courses are in the BFA programs. You may also want to consider taking a semester at NTI or a summer at one of the many acting studios such as Atlantic or Stella Adler. I think you may get a better response if you posted where you are at in school in terms of what grade you are in , your SATs and your current GPA.</p>
