Re: Lighting Design Colleges
Most colleges don't offer a degree in Lighting Design, from what I hear. Usually you would obtain a BFA or a BA in Technical Theatre or Design & Technology with a concentration in Lighting Design. Often how good your Lighting Design education is comes from what you make of it.
For Instance, the University of Rhode Island has one of the worst Technical Theatre programs I've seen, but a graduate from the program has since moved to New York and is now working Broadway.
On that note, congratulations on getting so many callbacks. I probably won't be doing college auditions next year after my junior as I have looked into some schools I'm interested in attending, none of which appeared at the festival.
Good luck in your college pursuit!
