<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm looking to take a summer acting program and as well as auditioning for and hopefully being accepted into the William Esper Studio's Two-Year Conservatory.</p>
<p>Regarding summer programs, I have narrowed it down to four.</p>
<p>American Academy of Dramatic Arts
Atlantic Theater Company
Circle in the Square
Neighborhood Playhouse</p>
<p>I expect I will audition at 2 or 3 and then go from there, but I am really having a hard time deciding between these programs. My biggest (and really only) question here is which of the do you thing is the most "prestigious" and will be most impressive on a resume as having studied there. I figure if I will be taking the time to study for 6 weeks I would also like to have the best opportunity to boost my resume - kill two birds with one stone!</p>
<p>I do know a bunch about these programs and do have some preferences between them, though I feel I will obviously learn at any. I am looking forward to full-time Meisner work next year so I def wouldn't mind doing it this summer (Atlantic/Neighborhood). Overall, I think I am leaning towards Atlantic because I would love to work on the Practical Aesthetics technique and see a good fit with Atlantic's program, but there alumni is for lack of a better term, probably the least impressive. Is it the least regarded school of the four?</p>
<p>Thanks for your thoughts about these school and any info you could share!</p>
