Hi there, I’m a rising senior in high school this year. I have been looking for colleges for a while but have yet to find one that really offers what I want.

Some things about me: I have a 4.1 gpa, and I’m tied to be valedictorian of my class when I graduate next may. I’ve taken every AP class offered at my school, and I work very hard. I am the NHS president. I have about 12 college credits at the moment. I’ve been doing theater for over ten years, and I’ve been in 39 shows over that time. I started out in ensembles and such, but soon I built up trust with directors, and I have been a lead/supporting character in shows since. I have 250 volunteer hours and I volunteer at community theaters to help direct their youth drama camps. Our school has faced crazy budget cuts, so I will be taking over the choir teaching position without pay on top of classes this year.

My goal after college is to attempt to work in theater in some capacity be it directing (music or standard) or performing. I would also like to have the option to work as either a high school/university teacher/professor, likely in musical theater or something heavily related to that.

I am looking for a university that can allow me to double major in Musical Theater and Education (of some sort).
Please comment if you know of any universities or colleges that would fit me well. Thank you so much

TLDR: i am looking for college recommendations for double majoring in musical theater and education. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I live in rural Alaska, and it’s about to be my senior year. Our school is widely regarded as having the best theater program in our area. We consistently sell out multiple performances. The past few shows at this Middle/High School were.

Anyway, people are graduating and I would like some help finding a show that fits our cast.
- 1 M Tenor (who has a lot of theater and vocal experience)
- 1 F Soprano (also a lot of theater experience)
- Three jock guys who are new to theater, but they aren’t super strong singers
- One Jock guy who has been doing the school shows for the past few years (he’s an okay singer, he can carry a tune if he works on it with the MD)
- a few F altos who are good singers, it would be nice for them to have roles
- a mezzo that has occasionally done theater and is a pretty good singers.

Overall, the director has asked me to help come up with shows. One of our ideas is Big Fish, but we have no idea who will be Will.
We would like kind of a star vehicle for the two at the top, but please please please let me know your suggestions.
