kevin --

the auditions you're talking about are called unifieds.

a bunch of schools go, try googling it for the complete list. the auditions are held (usually) in one place and you can schedule a few auditions in one weekend instaed of taking a full weekend for each audition.

also, you'll sort of need to decide whether you're auditioning for MT or for Acting. some places consider you for both at a Musical Theatre audition, some places you'd have to do two separate auditions, and some places you would have to choose one or the other.

also, some of the schools you're listing don't have the programs you're looking for. for example, Boston Conservatory DOESN'T have a straight acting program, only MT. and i think Oberlin only has classical music and straight theatre (not MT) -- or at least it did two years ago when i was looking.

check out this link. it will be an invaluable resource as you start the whole Acting/MT admissions process.
