Hanks studied theater at Chabot College,
and after two years, transferred to Sacramento State University.
Hanks told the New York Times:
"Acting classes looked like the best place for a guy
who liked to make a lot of noise and be rather flamboyant.
I spent a lot of time going to plays.
I wouldn't take dates with me. I'd just drive to a theater,
buy myself a ticket, sit in the seat, and read the program,
and then get into the play completely.
I spent a lot of time like that, seeing Bertolt Brecht,
Tennessee Williams, Henrik Ibsen, and all that."

It was during his years studying theater that Hanks met Vincent Dowling,
head of the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland.
At Dowling's suggestion, Hanks became an intern at the Festival,
which stretched into a three-year experience
that covered everything from lighting to set design to stage management.
Such a commitment required that Hanks drop out of college,
but with this under his belt, a future in acting was in the cards.
Hanks won the Cleveland Critics Circle Award for best actor
for his performance as Proteus in Shakespeare's
The Two Gentlemen of Verona,
one of the few times he played a villain.
