Wanted to share that my daughter went to visit 2 PA schools this wknd as a jr. We visited Muhlenberg College & DeSales University, both near /in Allentown . My D wasn't really feeling it at Muhlenberg but I know it's known to be a great program for theatre. We just felt maybe it's more suited for Acting . The voice lessons are extra which is a bummer. The tech stuff there looks excellent and state of the art. You can minor in dance or voice to get your MT in, it just wasn't a fit for her I don't think.
DeSales is not really mentioned on this forum so wanted to say she really loved it! It's a small school and Catholic and all the people we met were so friendly and helpful. We saw a show which was great and toured the theatre dept. it's a BA with a MT conc. A lot of opportunities to pursue other things & asst direct shows etc. the underclassman are encouraged to audition and get cast. They have the PA Shakespeare Festival on campus in the summer which is a professional company & students can audition for summer stock & get Equity card points. Just wanted to comment on it. A proof that it's really important to visit some lesser known programs and check them out!
