<p>The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation and The Princeton Review
have partnered to publish:</p>
<p>**Television, Film, and Digital Media Programs</p>
<p>556 Outstanding Programs at Top Colleges and Universities across the Nation**</p>
<p>Has anyone used it to help find a theater program? Reviews welcome here.</p>
<p>I have not heard of the book and have not seen it and therefore, cannot comment about its helpfulness as a resource. </p>
<p>However, based on the title, I would not have assumed it included THEATER/DRAMA programs. It seems by the title to be about TV/Film/Media, a different field. Do you have the book? Does it include theater/drama programs? Just wonderin’ because if I were in a bookstore looking for theater programs, I would not be inclined to pick up a book with that title.</p>
<p>This book came out a few years ago. I remember reading an article about it and the reviews were mediocre. It did not, if I recall correctly, have anything to do with theatre programs but rather was focussed on media and communications, and tangentially on television and film.</p>
<p>Good to know. I thought maybe it had applications for theater/drama students aspiring to act in film or on TV, but evidently not.</p>
<p>I keep hearing how acting into a camera is different than on stage; for example, reactions are much more restrained. The rehearsal and memorization processses are also quite different. Sometimes the actors participate in rewriting lines of the screenplay, too, which wouldn’t happen on stage except perhaps for a newly workshopped play. The filming schedule rules the actors, so they don’t always see the continuity, filming something late in the movie before something earlier. So the training might emphasize being able to deliver lines without benefit of scene chronology or, in some cases, not even knowing the full plot. </p>
<p>So I’ve been looking out for a resource that highlights theater departments attentive to film acting, as compared to stage acting. Ah well. Thanks for these replies.</p>
