The largest single source of performing-arts events in the state of Ohio, the College-Conservatory of Music particularly shines after hours when stage lights come up to welcome 70,000 people to nearly 1,000 performances a year. Five theaters, with seating for 140-400 each, give almost 1,500 students an opportunity for a practical application in more than 100 majors. Furthermore, CCM programs are so highly competitive that in 2010, for example, 713 applicants vied for 20 slots in musical theater, the country’s oldest such program.
