<p>Can someone tell me more about the Elon BFA Acting program?</p>
<p>My son is MT, but maybe I can help a little. All acting and MT students take the same basic three acting courses, which focus primarily on Meisner and Stanislavski, I believe. Acting majors also have voice and speech classes and theatre history. You can look up the exact requirements for the degree online, but I know Elon offers playwriting, directing, dialects, Shakespeare and a bunch of other classes. I believe acting majors also can get 30 minute voice lessons.</p>
<p>I don’t know if the acting majors are required to audition for everything, like MTs are, but I do know they can. There is much crossover in casting of the plays and musicals. The students also have their own production group, Renegade Productions, where they produce, direct and perform. There are other performance opportunities through the communications department through Elon tv and radio, as well as many short film projects. </p>
<p>All Elon students take the same academic core classes, regardless of major.</p>
