Theatre and The Arts at UPENN

I answered a similar question back in 2014. My answer should still be relevant today (allowing for current COVID-19 restrictions, of course):

Performing Arts at Penn

<p>I'm trying to decide between Wharton and Columbia to apply to ED, and so far Wharton is winning in terms of academics and location (I love the idea of Columbia's core, but I get the sense it doesn't work out perfectly in practice). However, the performing arts are a huge part of my life, and I'm concerned about the opportunities I'll have at Penn vs those at Columbia. Apart from a cappella groups, what sorts of opportunities would I have at Penn in vocal music, musical theatre, jazz, experimental theatre, and dance (tap and contemporary)? Are Penn's arts facilities good? Also, how supportive is the student body in terms of things like attending performances?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
