What are some schools that have good grad schools for theatre?
I've decided to go to grad school after I finish up here and looking for some options.

Posted: 9/5/06 at 8:44pmI know for a fact that U Washington has an excellent grad program in both acting and directing. Plus seattle is such a cool place
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

It REALLY depends on what you're looking for.
If you're an actor, know what kind of a program you want. Do you want to be trained to teach? Do you want to focus on Meisner or Chekov? Do you want to mainly do classics? Until you know what you want in a grad school, you shouldn't jump into it.

I'm looking at programs.
I want acting that doesn't FOCUS on musical theatre but does INCLUDE musical theatre. I want to do less classical and more contemporary.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

For classics, I know a couple of great actors who came out of the University of Delaware's program, but I don't know if teaching is involved in that. You might want to look into it.
As for something that is mostly contemporary and includes musical theatre, I think that the University of Indiana might be a good fit. There is an incredible school of music there, and you can opt to take classes from their vocal coaches while getting your MFA in theatre. I know that program involves teaching, but not until your second year.
