    I have a student who wants to major in Educational Theatre and would like to stay in the East. She is also interested in Indiana , Minnesota and Ohio. Thank you for your help

    Hi Cathy,

    Although it has been a few decades for me, I instantly thought of Emerson (Boston), and especially of Steinhardt (NY), as they are the ones that offer PD and graduate classes that make me wish I was still a student.  

    I also know that New England College and UNH (both NH) have programs, but don't know a lot about them.  UNH has Little Red Wagon, which is their children's theatre performance group - which I can personally testify is at least 50 years old!  

    I also found a good list here, though I don't know that it is exhaustive:  Theatre Education Programs - The Full List | Theatre Trip
