College preparation

Finding — and getting into — the right college theatre program

These pages offer guidance on various aspects of choosing a college theatre program, and getting into one and paying for it. Drawn largely from the wisdom collected for Dramatics magazine’s annual College Theatre Directory, they examine the differences between the different kinds of college-level theatre training and cover financial aid, auditions, portfolio presentations, and contact information for numerous schools. If you’re a graduating senior or soon will be, be sure to check out the Thespian scholarship program page.
