If she does go with Theatre, then an audition might have more weight over academics. In the very least, a good audition could significantly boost an applicant’s profile. With English/Journalism, sometimes a portfolio can help.
With that being said, I agree with U Maine. If she’s interested in mid-size schools, then consider the public flagships of the Dakotas, Montana/Wyoming, and Nevada.
If she can’t get the her score to at least an 1180, I would also consider applying test-optional.
But let’s be honest. I scored a 1260 as a junior. That jumped up 40 points within a few months—and I didn’t even study. As she learns more in school, and if she preps for the SAT, she could earn a 1200 by October.
A 3.4 can also vary by high school. If she’s attending an above-average public high school, and she raises that SAT to a 1200, then UC Boulder and U Oregon/Oregon State become matches.
