<p>Hi, I’m a sophomore in high school. I’m interested in majoring in either theatre or film acting. I want to spend some time at University of Michigan this year to decide whether I want to go there or not. Does anyone know of any good internships, camps, or classes I should take over summer or Easter break? Also, what can I do to get more theatre experience that is favorable to colleges (I do theatre at my high school, but I don’t think that’s enough). Thanks!</p>
<p>UMich has a great summer program that I attended between my Sophomore and Junior year. It is called Mpulse and you can access it on the UMich School of Music, Theatre, and Dance website. I think it is too late to apply for this year, but I could be mistaken. Sometimes if they have not had enough applications, they continue to accept them after the deadline. It will specify on the website.
Mpulse is a three week program that typically takes place in July and ends with a showcase of all the students that attended. You work closely with Brent Wagner and other faculty members as well as current MT students. It was money well spent for me.</p>
<p>MPulse now has a straight theatre program, too (though, I did the musical theatre program between my junior and senior year, and I highly recommend it). I currently attend U of M, and my brother graduated from the BFA acting program last year, and it's a great place to study any form of theatre.</p>
<p>But, regarding theatre experience, I wouldn't worry about having fancy things to put on you're resum</p>
