<p>Thanks for the continued help, Soozie.</p>
<p>Right now, as a semi-newbie (has only been in 4-5 shows, only had one semi-lead, but has done makeup and costumes, assisted directors, has seen gobs and gobs, has read a million books on the subject, can talk you blue about theater history), my D would love to do anything and everything. Looking through the coursework in almost any theater program, BA or BFA, I can see how broad and thorough the education will be. It’s why I love it that she’s settled on theater - I never could have seen her in studio art, or in music alone. This encompasses them all, even in an acting program. It’ll be wonderful. And we have at least 3 safeties - non-audition, nice BAs that she’d be happy going to (UMinn - regular BA, UW-Milwaukee, and Columbia College, and the last 2 have the BFA audition option). So I’m not even really stressing out (much …). I can really sit back and let her look, think and decide. If she gets hyped up about BFAs in 6 mos, at least I’ll know she did her homework.</p>
<p>BUT again she will have to do that homework because she won’t necessarily be happy somewhere JUST because it’s theater. That’s our project for the next year!</p>
