<p>Okay, so it's in NYC. It's housed at Barnard. Rodgers and Hammerstein and Hart went there once upon a time. Supposedly the improv groups are popular. How's theatre at Columbia?</p>
<p>Please, please help!</p>
<p>actually im a bit curious too.</p>
<p>third that</p>
<p>it seems to me that schools would benefit from having admissions reps on here answering questions... or are there some already? anyway, point stands. i think. :D</p>
<p>anybody?? do they do musicals??</p>
<p>My sister graduated from Barnard about 15 years ago. She was in several excellent plays, including very strong musical productions of Hair and The Gondoliers. I still have the tape of their production of Hair and it stands up -- I'm a nitpicky critic of musical theater, and I'd pay good money to see a show of that quality. Granted, it's a long time ago, but I think it's rare for that kind of campus scene to deeteriorate over time, especially since the student body has only gotten stronger since then.</p>
<p>My d is going to go to Barnard next fall. We understand that Col/Barnard produces a musical each semester. I believe "little shop" was done this year at some point (though I might be somewhat confused about that....). Anyway, there is that component available (and my d is going to try to be involved!)</p>
<p>is it musicals only or plays too? as much as I love theatre, not a great music person</p>
<p>bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>You might take a look at today's Spectator online for an article on LateNite Theater's tenth anniversary. It's a group that puts on student-written plays.</p>
