Posted: 2/11/08 at 12:15amWhat are some good graduate schools. I want an MFA in Acting. At Actorfeast in NYC, a speaker said there were only a handful of good Graduate Schools for Theatre. Anyways, what are some good schools?

Brandeis University
I'm in the BA program, but they offer an MFA in Acting. Admission is based at least partially on an audition, and I believe it takes 3 years to complete.

I would have to second Brandeis. The head of our theatre department at my school got his MFA there. He is EXCELLENT!!
The only downfall is that they accept a very, and I mean VERY small amount into the program. (at least, that's what he told me)

Yale School of Drama (3 years - accepts 16 a class)
NYU Graduate Drama (3 years - accepts 18 a class)
USD/Old Globe Graduate Acting (2 years - accepts 7 a class)
American Conservatory Theater (3 years - accepts 17 a class)
UC Irvine Graduate Acting (3 years)
New School for Drama (3 years)
Pace University Actors Studio (3 years - accepts a class)
Many people also attend Julliard after getting a degree which requires a four year full-time residency, I believe they admit 20 to a class.

I don't know who told you there were only a handful of good MFA schools, but they were dead wrong. There are probably more good MFAs than there are quality BFAs. A few of the good ones that have yet to be mentioned are ...
UC San Diego
University of Delaware
Brown University/Trinity Rep
University of Indiana
National Theatre Conservatory, Denver
Harvard Institute for Advanced Theatre Training
Alabama Shakespeare Festival
Rutgers University/Mason Gross School of the Arts
University of Washington
