Question: Best colleges for pursuing acting/theatre!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have seen this question so many times and never answered because I really didn't know!. So I went through the bio's of cast members in about 100 playbills I have from musicals I attended!. Still could not come up with any one college that produced more actors than others!.

My conclusion is: If you have the talent to be an actor in theater, it really doesn't make a difference what college you attend!. Look for one that has a descent Visual and Performing Arts department!.
Ask them to give you a list of alums appearing or has appeared on stage and what and where they appeared!. Then make your choice, not someones else's choice for you!.

It depends what you're looking for!.

A lot of it is what you get out of it, but here are a few that are very reputable:

Hartt School
Boston University
NYU/Tisch
Yale
Catholic University (well, at least the MFA program)
AMDA
Carnegie Mellon
Syracuse

I've known actors from "good" schools, and actors from lesser known schools who were exceptionally talented!.
