<p>So today I was thrilled to find out I was accepted to Grinnell! As I make my way towards a decision in less than a month (oh god), I'm trying to get an accurate picture of my options. </p>
<p>Basically, I would love some first-hand views on how the theater scene is at Grinnell. What is the department like, what kind of shows do they do, the general student body's impression and participation, etc. </p>
<p>What I've gotten from the website is there are an ample number of productions to be involved in, and the facilities look marvelous. </p>
<p>I really love what I've heard about Grinnell so far, so any input you guys have would be lovely. :)</p>
<p>The facilities looked incredible to me. My son, who had been involved in theater from sixth grade didn’t pursue it in college. I know it was because there were so may other things to do at Grinnell. Best wishes! It was my son’s first choice from 10 amazing schools.</p>
<p>Incredible!</p>
<p>The theatre dept. is very committed and the profs are great! There are multiple shows and multiple ways to play a part. Also we have a long list of alumni that range from that dept! Anyhow, the best part is that you don’t NEED to be a theatre major or an upperclassmen. One of the shows this semester had two first-years in the leads and a History major and another major as the other major parts. </p>
<p>So, yeah. Its pretty swell! ^^ Also Bucksbaum = FANTASMIC!</p>

<li>Playwright.</li>
</ul>
<p>The students love the shows too from what I can tell and we do a lot of variety. This year we did Political Theatre and Dark Comedy…well British plays and we will do others. There are also One-Acts and other things like GIT that do independent shows…</p>
<p>So, trust me when I say its awesomeeeee! =)</p>
<p>How are people who have had no previous theatre experience accepted there?
I’d like to try something new, aka, theatre once I get there, but I feel my lack of experience may result in failure/ridicule/some sort of disaster.</p>
