Search feature was not agreeing with me, so would someone mind directing me to the homepages of any (preferably good) colleges/universities on or around the westcoast that are specifically for performing arts and musical theater or offer degrees in them? Well, I'm sort of desperate, so I just give me the sites for good theater schools anywhere. Thank you!

www.ucla.edu -man, off the top of my head that's the only decent musical theatre school I could think of in Cali...

here's a more specific link, it's a BA in theatre but they have a musical theatre track: http://www.tft.ucla.edu/dot_ba/

Also, CSU Fullerton has a small but intense program...

If you're looking for a well-rounded drama program, University of Washington is ranked in the top 4 in the United States for it's drama department (though they don't have a musical theatre major, they're doing both TOMMY and THE LAST 5 YEARS this season). If you're looking specifically for musical theatre, University of Arizona has a musical theatre major, San Diego State, UCLA, and Washington State University all have musical theatre programs. Then there's also private schools like CalArts and Cornish School of the Arts.

USC also has a BFA program for drama. Very selective, but becoming more and more well regarded in the industry.
