Chaptertwo,

If your daughter is interested in acting, many of the colleges she will be applying to will be looking closely at her audition. This is something that her purely “academic” colleagues simply don’t have to worry about. Please make sure she is giving the process of preparing for auditions the attention it needs.

For many technical type theatre majors, schools are going to be asking for a portfolio. That is, a collection of materials (photographs, sketches, technical drawings, cue plots, prompt books, etc) that shows her technical work. Think about beginning to collect this stuff together.

The process for you and your daughter is going to be completely different than the process for those “academic” slouches who have just spent all of high school sitting on their rear ends studying or attending class, without a single theatre production in all that time!!!
