I have been amazed, when I ask my college students if they're studying acting, how many of them say, "No, musical theater", and I go, "that's also acting". Wherever that stigma comes from, it's bred into them early.
Are there two different programs at the school though? They may still be studying acting. It’s just the exact name of the major. I don’t know. I majored in musical theater and we took acting classes.
