 Historical Note

A performing arts educational institution is a school or department at a college or university, or a free-standing institution, which specializes in pre-professional training in performing arts such as acting, design and technical theatre, music, and dance. In 1833, the actress Frances Maria Kelly was noted as operating a dramatic school out of the Royal Strand Theatre; this is the earliest record of a drama school in England. Today institutions which teach the performing arts are located all over the world. Admittance into their programs is often competitive and requires an audition.
