Hello Everyone! :)

[EvaZotigh]

  Hi, my name is Evangeline and I am really excited that I found this forum! First off, I’ve been going to McLennan Community College in Texas for four years. During my second year, I decided to take an acting class to try to peruse a childhood dream. I fell in love with the department and the people instantly. I knew I wanted to do something in theatre. So over the past three years I’ve act, sang, assisted directed, stage managed, painted, and sewn to get where I am today.  This year I have decided to get my degree in stage managing!
   This will be my last semester at MCC and I have been looking at colleges to continue this passion! I was wondering if some of ya'll could help me out and recommend me some good schools! I've been looking at SUNY Purchase, UNCSA, UT Arlington, Texas State, and Stephen F. Austin! If anyone goes to any of these schools, I would greatly appreciate it if you would message me! I am thrilled to be part of this forum!

Hi Evangeline and thanks for joining us.

Have you had any experience outside of your school's theatre department?

For your college question you'd be better off taking a look at our Colleges & Graduate studies board and posting your questions there regarding your choices of schools. Expect folks to respond to you on the boards rather than via personal message. We prefer it when conversations can be shared with everyone, as it cuts down on the number of times that we have to have the same conversation.

Also, before you jump too far into the board please familiarize yourself with our search function (top right corner), our related posts feature (at the bottom of each page of posts), and most importantly, our community guidelines.

I was thinking of starting up a spin-off of BTDT for alums to list where they went to school. Do you think that would be useful?

I think a BTDT style listing for graduates of various programs could be useful, but I think it would be important to include what years we graduated from those programs.  After all I can speak to my experiences from my schooling, but I know that both my undergrad and grad programs have gone through many many changes in the years since I graduated from them (12 years for undergrad, and 8 years for grad school, for the record), which would not necessarily be of much help to somebody who's looking to apply in the coming years.
