Help, please answer! Acting colleges! I need answers!?


Asked by Angel
What are some good acting colleges in Massachusetts, especially near Bridgewater? It doesn't have to be really close to it, but my bf is going to Bridgewater State College and we want to live together. If it is far away then I guess I could take a train... I just would like to know more colleges that are good for acting in Massachusetts. Just any good acting colleges in Massachusetts are fine, but closer to Bridgewater or in the Boston area would be great, thanks.

I don't actually know where Bridgewater is in relationship to anywhere else in Massachusetts, so I'll just tell you some good acting programs in Mass., and hope that some of them are near you. The best schools for acting in Mass are: Boston University and Boston Conservatory (that last one for musical theater, specifically.) Those two actually rank up there with the best acting schools in the US. Other schools with good acting programs include Emerson, UMass Amherst, and Gordon College. Harvard has actually produced some amazing actors, but they aren't famous as a theater school, but it certainly would work. You could also find an okay acting program at other colleges, so long as the college is good, overall. ETA: I now know where Bridgewater is. It's on the south shore. Perhaps you could live in Quincy, and go to school in Boston? Quincy might be close enough to both Bridgewater and Boston to make this possible, and it's on the T, and has a lot of rental apartments. If not, if there's a commuter rail from Bridgewater or nearby, that'd really work re: going to school in Boston. So I'm thinking BU may be #1 on your list.
