I have been looking into technical theatre schools, but the frustration that I've found is that most of what are supposed to be the "best" schools are located on the East coast, and I'm not interested in moving that far from California.
My number one is definitely DePaul, as I am in love with Chicago and have family there. If there are any other schools in Chicago that I should be considering, please enlighten me.
If I am unable to find/get int a good Chicago school, I would like to stay someplace in the west. States that interest me are California (though not LA or San Francisco), Oregon, Washington, Colorado...
I am most interested in a major in either general technical theatre or stage management (would be ideal), and do not much like the idea of general theatre programs with an emphasis.
Part of what I love about DePaul is it's location in such a lively city for theatre, as well as how well they prepare you for work in the real world, not just giving you a general education and leaving you to fend for yourself.
Any tips would be helpful, and I am flexible with location, but don't want to go much further East than Chicago.
