Backstage features Augsburg College’s theater program
Backstage magazine’s 2012 Fall College Guide named Augsburg College one of the top five U.S. institutions for theater majors who wish to continue their studies professionally.
In the article “On the Boards & Chalkboards” —released October 25, 2012—Backstage recommended an Augsburg education for “enterprising, driven students looking to climb the [professional] ladder in double time.”
The article described the three academic concentrations the College offers theater majors, highlighted Augsburg’s course offerings, and emphasized the theater program’s proximity to the renowned, Minneapolis-based Guthrie Theater.
