Top 25 in Theater

Backstage.com featured the College in their top 25 “amazing” school for theater list, along with Juilliard and NYU, as one of the country’s “best acting programs.”

Bennington College: 

Collaboration is key at Bennington drama, a program that believes there’s no one “right” way to study drama. At the small liberal arts college in Vermont, drama students are encouraged to take classes across the discipline—acting, directing, theater history, stage management, etc.—with classes often coming together to collaborate. This expansive education ensures Bennington students graduate with a comprehensive knowledge of every aspect of the production process (just ask Carol Channing, Alan Arkin, or Peter Dinklage). And for anyone looking to apply their learning in a real-world setting, every Bennington student spends one seven-week period honing their skills in a job or internship that complement their studies.
