@DoinResearch - Does your S have excellent academic stats? If so, the number of “affordable” schools could greatly increase due to the possibility for substantial merit-based aid - generally (but not always) better than talent-based awards. Wright State (Ohio) is affordable (definitions of that word vary greatly) even with OOS tuition, but with its generous merit awards, it can be an incredible “bargain”. It has a well-regarded Acting BFA program and the strength of its MT BFA is also its Acting emphasis.
