School of Theatre Recognized Again in the Top 10 on Broadway!

The School of Theatre at Florida State was recognized in a recent article by Playbill as one of the top 10 schools in the country based on current representation of alumni on Broadway. The article was part of Playbill.com’s Back to School Week and highlighted numerous FSU Alums who are currently performing on Broadway. FSU was ranked ninth among all universities and fourth among public universities to make the list!

As part of Playbill’s Back to School week (#BwayBacktoSchool), we have combined past Schools of the Stars features that track where members of the casts and creative teams of each Broadway show went to college, along with a bit of added research, to present the ten colleges currently most represented on Broadway (plus a few honorable mentions).
