i don't think there are any actors in this community (yet -- it's been around for about a year now, but whatever), so here's what i have to offer. i'm going to be a second year theatre management major. the theatre school is basically divided up into three departments: design/tech, acting, and general theatre studies. design/tech entails costume designers/technicians, sound designers, lighting designers, stage managers, etc. gts includes theatre mgmt, dramaturgy, the gts major, and playwriting. obviously, acting is only actors

thanks for all the information, sorry i havent been able to respond sooner. a few MORE questions....
in the cut system, on what are the 50% cuts based on? is it your overall performance through the program or an examination at the end of the year... or something of the sort? i personaly dont see any problem with the cut system... its a little scary and the fact that the dump half their freshman actors is a little obsurd, but it does sort of emulate the "cut-throat" nature of theatre. but, what do you do after you've been cut? are you still a depaul student?
i also wanted to know if as an acting major i could study music and dance... and as tts is a conservatory-like-maboob-place will i be able to do academic studies as well? or is it simply impossible with all the acting stuff i will be doing? could you tell me what life for a 1st year actor would be like
thanks for all your help! i hope you enjoy answering my millions of questions :D
if you knew all this while you were applying to colleges, would you still have wanted to go to depaul?
i think thats it for now... thanks so much, this was a LOT of help, and im glad i found someone who could answer al my questions. [as much as the website tries, it will never compare to first hand experience]
i added your LJ just incase i have more questions later....
