What are some of the best colleges that teach acting?

Hi Marla! I think you're looking for the answer to this question: http://careervillage.org/questions/1374/what-collage-would-you-recommend-for-someone-who-wants-to-become-an-actor

I would be careful about connotations of "best" when it refers to acting training. This is an Artistic profession for the open-minded. Colleges/Universities, Conservatories, Studios, Programs associated w/Established Regional Theatres, Private Teaching - or like myself - No Formal Training at all...just boldness luck & true talent. Yet I do support those who choose formal study whether here or abroad. The "best" programs tend to be in proximity to the most available work opportunities & thus density of aspiring & established actors: New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London - depending on the Type of acting you'd like to pursue; theatre? film? tv? Training- true training comes from the theatre which means the East Coast/Northeast. All other skills can be honed from this basic bedrock. Julliard. NYU. Yale. Direct approach highly competitive but exorbitantly expensive. Excellent training need not be that costly or even in the densest environment. North Carolina School of the Arts has a rich & successful program. There are so many others throughout the country & perhaps near you. Look around. Ask questions. Talk to actors & especially those teachers who are inspiring you now. Find your path...
