I’m wondering if anyone can tell me anything about some of the other UC’s acting programs apart from UCLA and UC Davis. Namely UCSC, UC Merced, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Riverside.
Obviously theater isn’t the main focus of these colleges but I’m wondering how well their specific drama departments stack up. Any info appreciated.
My daughter has a good friend who completed the BFA Acting program at UCSB. It seems like a solid program. We saw several shows there which were very good - a testament to the training. He graduated last year and took the last six months to travel the world but is back now and focusing on getting an agent and starting to seriously pursue his career -right now weighing whether to stay in the LA market or head to Chicago where he has some solid connections as well. He feels the training he received has prepared him well to be a working actor.
