I applied to UofT already for social sciences, and I plan on studying environmental studies or political science! I also ranked Victoria College as my number 1 bc I heard that it is involved in theatre (?) I plan to be super involved in UofT&#8217;s extracurriculars, so I&#8217;m just wondering if there are any opportunities in theatre arts such as plays, performances, gigs, etc. :))) \u00a0Thank you! heyyo,\u00a0 omg hi fellow theatre kid!\u00a0\u00a0 yes, back in my high school days aska was also into drama. alas, while i still am, it\u2019s fallen off a bit for me.\u00a0 but i&#8217;m gonna make sure the same thing doesn\u2019t happen to you, because i have just the best news for you: utsg has TONS of active drama groups! in fact, the day i was researching your question i went to a student production with my friends later that night!\u00a0 a great place to start is the website for the uoft drama coalition, which has links to all of the major drama clubs and societies. some of the stuff on there is a bit outdated, though, so i&#8217;d recommend looking at the instagram pages of the individual groups for more relevant info! here&#8217;s a few:\u00a0 trinity college dramatic society\u00a0 st michael\u2019s college troubadours\u00a0 victoria college dramatic society\u00a0 university college follies\u00a0 uoft improv\u00a0 the bob comedy revue\u00a0 also, i would totally recommend checking out hart house theatre programs. hart house is utsg\u2019s main extracurricular hub and their theatre always has stuff going on, from workshops to competitions to festivals. i can personally say that the classes they offer are super fun and also great to practice your audition skills. i took one last year and it was so worth it! the classes do cost money but they\u2019re heavily discounted for uoft students.\u00a0 on the topic of vic college, like i linked above they do have their own theatre group and the general vibe around campus is that they\u2019re one of the more \u201cartsy\u201d colleges, BUT many of the other colleges also have their own theatre groups. you&#8217;re also not restricted from most roles at other colleges\u2019 drama societies, so no matter which college you end up at you\u2019ll have plenty of opportunities to get involved!\u00a0 oh, and if you\u2019re into the more scholarly side of drama, you could always take a course or two from the centre for drama, theatre, and performance studies. \u00a0 so yeah, us theatre kids are eating good at utsg.\u00a0 see you on stage next year!! \u00a0 cheers,\u00a0 aska\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[313,202,138,121],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus-life","category-clubs","category-drama","category-extracurricular"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29312\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
