College Search for technical theatre (please help)

As a Denverite, I know a lot about both DU and U of Northern CO. I know a few talented people who go to DU, I know their lighting professor and she is lovely. But it seems to me that if you want to pay their extravagant tuition, there are places with better facilities and programs. DU is not a school I would choose to go to for theatre. Their programs are much better for music and such.

UNC is lovely and quite cheap compared to most schools you'll look at. I was surprised to know that a few on this forum go there, as I have a ton of friends who also go there. If I were to go to a school in state, I think I would have gone there.

In my search, I looked at Carnegie Mellon, SUNY Purchase, Emerson, Depaul, BU, Ithaca and several others. Incidentally, I did not look at Southern Methodist university until they called me and willed me in. And alas, after months of searching and visiting all those great east coast schools, I'm going to Dallas. I'd be glad to tell you what I know about any of the schools I mentioned, but as I learned, it's really best to talk to professors and visit. I never expected I'd be going to SMU until I visited. Let me know if I can help, I suffered through the whole application process just last fall.
 
Check out University of Michigan's School of Music/Dance/Theater's design and production program. They also have a BTA program for management and producing if you want to be involved in entertainment/theater but don't want to do technical or performing as a career. I have a friend in it and he loves it.
