<p>Where is that thread they list the school, the number of the current MT class and the male/female split.</p>
<p>CCM and PSU are both heavy on males. I was wondering if that is "normal" for those schools.</p>
<p>2012 class size or something like that. We were all too lazy to start a separate 2013 thread. Maybe we can do better for 2014!</p>
<p>LOL yeah that might be a good idea plus we love a good list organized several ways!</p>
<p>Seriously as if girls didn’t have it hard enough! I think the CCM split is 14 males to 6 females. PSU class is smaller but still heavy on boys.</p>
<p>Unfortunately it is tough on girls after they graduate also. There are far more parts for boys/men in both straight and musical theater. That’s why programs snatch up talented guys when they can. There is more demand for males and fewer males in the field. It is frustrating. Someone needs to start writing more female roles for all these girls!! :)</p>
<p>My D has several male friends who all auditioned at a college I will decline to name. (it is one that does an early audition) 2 of the 3 were accepted in December and have been under what I would call “pressure” for several months to make their decision early. D also has several female friends who auditioned for same school, some early, some not- but not ONE of them got any info before the “main” acceptance date in March. Sure seemed like said school was trying to snap up guys early in the process.</p>
<p>Here it is:</p>

<p>Starting a new thread with this</p>
<p>U of Northern Colorado is male heavy.</p>
<p>hmmm can’t make it red LOL</p>
<p>Fascinating stats. Thank you for shareing these. </p>
<p>FYI… interesting math here: Otterbein Acting (BFA): 6 (2 men and 2 women)</p>
<p>and Michigan is on the list twice… once as Michigan and once as U Michigan. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While this only makes a small dent…my D, who is a MT performer, is also a MT writer/composer/lyricist and her first musical was written while still in college (though went onto an Equity production in NYC, a MainStage production in a BFA program, and is available for license), featured an all female cast. One of the two musicals she has under development that are each commissioned by theaters, is a gender bender (switch females for the male characters) that is a take off on a well known tale. I think the other musical she has in development for a commission has a female lead character. </p>
<p>So, someone out there is writing the female roles!</p>
<p>And I appreciate those who will cast females in the male roles when there aren’t enough males. The D’s theatre teacher does it in every show she directs–usually Shakespeare. Fathers become mothers and sons become daughters!</p>
<p>If you add the numbers for the MT programs shown in the post from MTMajorCook, the girls enrolled in MT actually outnumber the guys: 303 to 244, or 55% to 45% (I excluded the Acting programs).</p>
<p>The Otterbein acting listing had been correct once and then somehow altered, as I remember. The 2013-17 acting cohort has two M and 2 F. </p>
<p>@soozievt I immediately thought of your daughter when I saw that line too! </p>
<p>^^^^ 
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>With Shakespeare that can happen, but with shows that must be licensed it can’t. Opposite genders may play the roles but they must be played as written. So, a girl can play a male role but she must play it as a man.</p>
<p>Yes, the teacher has done that too. I saw that last week with an opera we attended. A woman played a man.</p>
<p>There is a whole category for that in opera - referred to as pants roles. It would be outside the norm in opera to alter the role as written, due to voice range.</p>
