<p>I am on the HOPE scholarship and would like to stay in Georgia for school.
What are the best public colleges in GA, for theatre??
I am looking for a program with lots of resources but also some personal attention.
Thanks!</p>
<p>You're restrictions are very, well, restricting. I did a search for Georgia public 4-year colleges that offer a major in Drama/Theatre Studies and got 9 matches:</p>
<p>Armstrong State, Georgia Southern, UGA, Georgia Southwestern State, Western Georgia, Macon State, Kennesaw State, Georgia College, Columbus State </p>
<p>The only school of these nine that listed Visual and Performing Arts as a somewhat popular major is Columbus State. I did some more research. It's not that big, so you'll get some personal attention. However, it is not a particularly good school (the average SAT scores were about 500/category) so I'm guessing resources would be limited.</p>
<p>If you'd rather go with the better school over personal attention, go for Univ. of Georgia...it's one of the better flagship schools (I'd consider it second-tier...behind Virignia, UMich, Chapel Hill and more on a level with Maryland, Washington, Indiana). Even if theatre isn't amongst the school's top majors, with such a big school, there has to be a niche for you.</p>
<p>Hope I helped.</p>
<p>You might want to see who will offer you $ across the state line. I went to a little public university in Alabama (University of Montevallo), which has a great theater arts program and wonderful facilities. Rebecca Luker (tony nominated broadway star) and Polly Holliday (way too old for you to remember) both graduated from there.</p>
