OnStage, a blog that offers commentary about the nation’s theatre scene, has named Missouri State as Missouri’s best theatre college.

Criteria considered includes performing opportunities, career support

In a recent post, the Connecticut-based online journal compiled a list of the Best Theatre Colleges in Every State. According to the post, their findings were based on criteria such as tuition, facilities, academic rigorousness, performing opportunities, career support and location.

Tent Theatre named as asset that sets MSU apart

The writer, Chris Peterson, pointed to MSU’s Tent Theatre as a leading factor for the designation. He writes: “It is the only company in the area that houses an Equity Membership Candidate Program. As a student, you will have the opportunity to build equity candidacy points. You will work with performers who have been recruited throughout the nation to participate in this professional experience.”
