University Theater in Boston : The Classical Experimental

HowlRound: The Boston Center for American Performance (hereafter BCAP) is a professional arm of a conservatory-type program with slots for graduate acting students, housed by a university concerned with upholding an academic excellence that is collocated with excellence in the arts. The model is somewhat convoluted to describe in administrative specifics, but not at all uncommon. It is built on the principle that two very appealing canoes for university theater—professional quality productions and the delegation of serious acting jobs to students undergoing conservatory training—are canoes meant to be straddled and linked by some agent institution.
