<p>Eugene Lang Theatre. Have you heard about it? What are your opinions on it?</p>
<p>Reveriece, wasn’t there a whole thread on this that you started back in December??</p>
<p>O.o I don’t remember! I dont remember ever mentioning The New School. i’ll check, sorry if I did haha ;D Since the decision time is approaching, and things are getting more serious, I am freaking out!</p>
<p>Random fact: I was watching Moneyball recently and noticed that Jonah Hill is a graduate of Eugene Lang.</p>
<p>Hahaha!!! Nice fact</p>
<p>Be a Arthur. Woody Allen (I think).</p>
<p>Bea Arthur and Woody Allen might have attended the New School, but not Eugene Lang College, which was founded in the 1980s. The New School for Social Research was dedicated to “continuing” and “adult” education. Eugene Lang was established as a full-time liberal arts college catering to “traditional-aged” students.</p>
<p>Hmm… So basically studying theatre in Eugene Lang is a bad choice?</p>
<p>Reveriece - I did not imply for a moment that it would “be a bad choice.” My son is applying there, also. I wanted to explain that Eugene Lang is a relatively new college, and different from the New School that previous generations attended. The New School always had good theater programs, but they did not have a typical undergraduate student body. Eugene Lang College was founded as a liberal arts college within the New School community. It has a good theater department, but it does not offer a B.F.A.</p>
<p>Stagemum, I know you didn’t but I didn’t receive any answer concerning about the college itself and how good it is… And I’ve always had some doubts about it. I’m glad to hear your opinion!!! I heard it is more “relaxed” in terms of curriculum and class hours etc. You get more “free” time outside of school and actually have an outside of school life. What do you think about that?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say Lang is “relaxed.” The open curriculum there (very few required courses; no distribution requirement) requires that students take much more initiative in creating their own educational plan. If one relaxes in this process, frustration with an incoherent education is likely to follow. The strength of Lang is its openness and interdisciplinarity. If you are interested in combining theater with film and creative writing, it offers greater possibilities to do so than some of the more highly structured BFA programs. But, as stagemum mentions, if you are looking for a rigorous and focused BFA in acting, it is not really the place for that. They do, however, have a nice program, as a part of their “I Have a Dream” initiative, that takes Lang students out into local schools to engage middle school and high school kids in theater projects. This rather innovative class is a part of that activity:</p>
