The particular long sleep of the COVID-19 pandemic was devastating to the acting world — but in a silver lining, it forced a creative reset at many of the particular world’s best drama programs. Colleges and conservatories have used the downtime to reconfigure, rebuild and rehire.

With that in mind, The Hollywood Media reporter has consulted with educators, alumni plus industry execs for its annual ranking of the best schools for an acting degree.
