My dad didn't want me to go for drama in school, so I chose the closest thing to it and got a bachelors degree in Communications at the Manhattan College.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So in my junior year, I switched to the drama department.
I always wanted to go to a drama school.
Drama school is fundamentally practical. I didn't write any essays, so I came out with a BA honors degree in acting.
My parents couldn't afford a full time drama school, but I basically just did every class I could do, and followed every drama interest I could. When I was 15 or 16 I did drama courses.
I had always done theater in extracurricular ways. I'd never been a drama major.
I was pre-med, so I was going to go into the family business, more or less. But I came to my senses, luckily, and backed out, and decided to go to drama school.
At first, I took theater courses on the side. Then, theater became my minor; then it was my major.
I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.
I didn't get into university, so I had to go to drama college!
I was a drama major through college.
