College and Graduate Studies / Re: SM Colleges in the MD, PA regions

I'm going into my senior year at Penn State.  It's a BFA Stage Management program and by far the best program that I've come across while meeting other SM students.  It's a very specified program that gives you conservatory experience in a huge state university environment.  I couldn't be more satisfied with the education I'm getting.  If you don't believe me, ask Kevin (kmc307) above since he's a gainfully-employed alum!

College and Graduate Studies / Re: Equity Courses

In my BFA Stage Management program, we do not have a specific class about Equity but we do discuss rules and contracts in our stage management class.  We follow Equity rules concerning rehearsals and also recently started using the same form that AEA uses for problem actors to submit to students' advisors.  I don't know if a class devoted entirely to AEA rules/contracts would be entirely effective since the Equity rules really stuck with me after working for an equity theatre company connected to our school this past summer.  Experience always beats classroom.

In short?  God's gift to techies.  Rips easily and doesn't leave a sticky residue like duct tape.
