Request for Question Clarification by nancylynn-ga on 20 Dec 2003 08:26 PST

Hello skimpy-ga: 

While making a preliminary search, the sites I've found offer e-mail
addresses for general information, including admittance and
application information, rather than specific e-mail addresses for the
directors.

Also, the absolute "largest" theatre school for each country -- that
isn't  always easy to determine: just which is the biggest school.
However, I can refer you to several well-established, highly respected
theatre schools within each country.

On a third point: are theatre schools affiliated with universities
acceptable to you; or are you interested *only* in independent theatre
schools that don't have any affiliation with universities?

Regards,
nancylynn-ga

need any further assistance, please request an answer clarification

Search Strategy:
I consulted the list at http://www.abo.fi/norden/konstvet/teater.htm
and determined the most important theatre school in each of the
requested countries.  I then found the directors' e-mail addresses
from the schools' websites.
