As everyone said, North Carolina School of the Arts, DePaul(yay!), and many others.

I havn't seen Southern Methodist University listed yet. Or the Boston Conservatory.

My community college has a phenominal theatre program too... almost everyone who goes there ends up at a prestegious college like Julliard and such. It's amazing, like legit theatre.

... I wish i had an awsome community college... :C

Yeah, we're really lucky (their shows are so increadibly good...) and if I wasn't totally opposed to staying at home for two more years I would totally go there.

I'm 90% sure Savannah doesn't have a theatre department, as I looked them up.

The DFW theatre scene is where it's at (we're one of the top emerging theatre city's in the country).

I'm looking at DePaul University right now, but Abeline Christian University interests me because they have a theatre ministry program, since I'm also interested in youth ministry...

SCAD does have a performing arts major, and minor. It's new (and VERY avant-garde), but it's pretty good. I had a friend who was minoring in theatre there with an emphasis in puppet arts, but got kicked out for stupid reasons that are rediculous.

Little do most people know... Canada's where it's at. Ever heard of a little place called the NTS? National Theatre School? It's in Montreal, and is equal - if not better than - Julliard. Sandra Oh went there, and look where she is now! Something like 80% of people that graduate from either their chosen specializations get work within the next year. (Don't quote me on the stat.. s'what I heard.)

But check the graduate's resumes. They're all about 24-26 years old. They graduated from University, then continued with their theatre studies. I wouldn't suggest going there straight after your post-secondary education... because you're so integrated you don't have time for.. well basically a life outside the school. Go to Uni first, get the partying outta your system, get a Bachelor of Arts/Fine Arts (in theatre), then if you're still pumped about more theatre school, start auditioning. 14 people are admitted to the NTS each year.

Uni's in Canada I'd suggest are:
Concordia
York (scary.. they rip you to shreds.. but it works)
Ryerson (Eric McCormack, baybee!)

NTS is supposed to be absolutely amazing, though it's insanely hard to get into. The programs are offered in both french and english as is the
website. Like Katlynn said they only except a few people a year. However it's 14 people per program (ie: theatre, play writing, set design etc.) I believe. This year they accepted 50 people, 4 of which were from out of Canada.

Concordia's supposed to be amazing as well. My friends older sister when there for a little while and she said it was really cool. She wasn't majoring in it but she did love it. I haven't had much of a chance to look at their website yet.
