Must Read Theater Education Blog Posts

February 10, 2010 by Dennis Baker 

I am a HUGE fan of the newly created website Theatre Arts Curriculum Transformation (TACT). ‘Tis the season where I am receiving emails and questions about my process for applying to MFA acting schools and my experience with the Rutgers MFA acting program.

If you are considering applying to theater schools, or considering what schools to attend, you need to stop everything you are doing and read TACT’s five blog posts about Theater Education written by Tom Loughlin, Professor of Theatre at SUNY Fredonia. Start here with Tom’s experience with MFA programs, and note that unfortunately the mindset in MFA programs have not changed much from 1977.

    Thanks for the link to TACT. Those essays by Tom are very, very powerful.

    To my shame, I was previously unaware of TACT. Thanks very much for the link and info.
