<p>I’m currently a I high school junior in love with Brown and set on applying Early Decision in the fall for the Class of 2016.
There is only one problem… I plan on majoring in theare. I have looked at the theatre department’s web page and I made sure to look at everything available there. The page is extremely dull. I hope the theatre scene there does not reflect the same thing.</p>
<p>Can any current or former students give out information about theatre, musical theatre, film, etc opportunities and training. Any information would be wonderful! thanks</p>
<p>At least in my limited experience with the theatre scene at other schools, Brown has the most dynamic and expansive line-up of performing arts groups. The sheer number of small shows (in production workshop’s upstairs space, Hillel, etc.) and staged readings is staggering. A lot of theatre at Brown is the result of a few friends with an idea, who put together a show without being part of a group. I saw over 100 shows during my time at Brown, and I still feel like I missed out on a lot.</p>
<p>My little non-profit has started trying to keep a reasonably complete list of performing-arts student groups, with links to websites, here: [Open</a> Jar Foundation | Performing Arts at Brown](<a href=“http://www.openjar.org/performing-arts-at-brown]Open”>http://www.openjar.org/performing-arts-at-brown) . You also might want to check out the Brown Daily Herald’s old theater reviews, since they will tell you a more detailed story about shows that have gone up in the past.</p>
