<p>I can chime in for Webster University! Webster is formally affiliated with the St. Louis Rep and The MUNY……students audition for the St. Louis Rep and are cast regularly. The students audition for the Rep as part of their regular Webster seasons auditions. I don’t know the details of the MUNY relationship. Webster also has unofficial connections to various programs around the St. Louis area including St. Louis Shakespeare Festival, Stages and Variety Children’s Theatre to name a few. This may be true at many programs around the country, but the bulk of the Webster University regular faculty are working professionals as well, so they are acting, directing, singing, producing, etc at some point during the year, as well as teaching. </p>
