I’m certain Yale has an excellent undergrad theater program given the reputation of Yale, the Yale School of Drama, the smart and talented undergrads and the school’s vast resources; but we had a hard time getting our arms around the undergrad theater program. They wouldn’t permit my daughter a departmental tour or class visitation pre-acceptance; which I can appreciate - given that it’s Yale and they’re probably inundated with similar requests that would be disruptive to the students; but it was hard for her to get excited about Yale without kicking the tires.
Of the 12 or so theater departments she did visit, she was most excited about Brown, Northwestern, Williams and Fordham LC.
