I can make the following suggestion from personal experience... Please do NOT go to Texas State University. (not to be confused with University of Texas) The theatre and design/tech programs themselves really aren't bad. They're relatively good (though being a freshman, I can't say...

Yes, but personally I didn't really get it til 10th or 11th grade...
