Student Experience
Academic Balance
I’ve never participated in any theater until college. Try it out if u r interested! It’s never too late! (Theater is not just acting, you can also be in backstage/design). Make sure you can do rehearsals from 6-10 every day.
USC’s Theater program has helped me grow significantly as an actor. I have taken theater courses before at other institutions which were good, but USC is miles ahead.
It’s definitely you get out what you put into it. It’s a ton of fun, but hard work if you expose yourself to a lot of projects.
