<p>Any Vassar students who are active in the theatre program? My D is a HS soph who has become passionate about theatre in the last two years. She is just beginning her search for a school with a challenging academic curriculum, a vibrant theatre department, a diverse and progressive student body (she's mixed African/American and Caucasian). Must be in/near a city, preferably in Northeast. Other schools on her initial list are Yale, Brown, Sarah Lawrence, BU, Northwestern. Some of these clearly are a reach. Prefers BA to BFA approach in order to get fuller college academic and social experience, leaving career decisions until later. I am eager for all feedback, including thoughts about the other schools on her list. Thanks.</p>
