I’m planning on doing community college to get my gen eds and get a higher gpa(My grades weren’t the greatest in high school :/). I want to continue my theatre training but still get my gen eds out of the way. Do you know of any CC’s with good theatre programs so I can still get training will doing gen ed? and is it a good idea to find a school that has both (like an AFA program), or go to a good CC and get my training privately?
What geographic area?
If it’s available/practical, it can be great to go to a CC with a vibrant arts program. In Silicon Valley, where I live, a lot of performing arts kids start out at West Valley College in Saratoga, and transfer to some excellent schools. Having that community of peers and mentors at your school can make for a much more cohesive experience than just grinding out GE’s and doing what you love in an off-campus setting. But it depends where you are and what the tradeoffs look like.
