For starters, Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh is known as an excellent school for theater and performing arts. It's considered one of the top schools for drama in the entire country and offers a BFA program in Drama.
Juilliard School in New York City is well-known across the globe for its performing arts programs. The school is highly selective but unquestionably one of the top schools for theater arts.
University of North Carolina School of the Arts offers a great program for Theater, with different concentrations such as Design and Production, Drama, Filmmaking, etc.
The Tisch School of the Arts at New York University (NYU) is an excellent choice as well. They offer both BFA and MFA programs in drama and have a fantastic reputation.
Finally, Northwestern University's School of Communication is well-regarded for its Theater program and is worth considering too.
