My D is a Junior at a Performing Arts HS. She is a strong dancer since she was 3 in all areas but loves and shines in Mth. She has a great voice, vocal training (3 years) and had some acting lessons as well. She has done two musicals (ensemble parts) and just got her first job ever - community theater Memphis ensemble (youngest person in cast). Her dream is definitely Broadway. She has auditioned for several SI - Broadway Theater Project (accepted), Broadway Triple Threat (accepted), Jacobs Pillow, AMDA, Pace, BOCO and BUSTI. She has a 2 objectives for her summer: 1) The best training possible to strengthen her acting and singing to make her competitive in the Triple Threat arena - (I’m thinking BUSTI). 2) Get a feel/rule out a college she is considering/conservatory vs univ. Although BOCO seems to match - it seems that this and many MTh programs will focus on your strength which is great but doesn’t give her the training in areas that she needs to be competitive in upcoming auditions. Thoughts or opinions are GREATLY appreciated!!
Go to the Musical Theater Message Board. There are a bunch of wonderful people that can help with this question!
It’s probably too late to audition for any good summer programs, they were due in February but if your daughter is looking in the future then definitely Interlochen Center for the Arts Musical Theatre summer program, University of Michigans summer musical theatre program, StageDoor I hear is ok but not on the same level. There are a couple more like Stage Door out there too. Carnegie has one too.
Does anyone know about penn states program?
