@Loose.tap.screws I saw you mentioned Virginia Tech on your list. They are a great program if you are interested in persuing Theatre for Public Dialouge. Bob Leonard, who heads up the program places a huge emphasis on how theatre and performance can positively impact communities. If you are interested, or want to know more, check out his book, Performing Communities. Or you can also look into Hope is Vital by Michael Rohds who was a student in that program.
