Drama program in CA where auditions count most?

<p>My son would like to go to school in CA, he went to a great workshop last summer at UCLA where they encouraged everyone to apply and audition and even told some stories about people who got in with average or below average grades (which is where he is), he is a “good actor” but not very interested in school (which I see alot as a therapist, the smartest kids don’t like school)…any ideas about CA schools and any safeties? (or even outside CA if you know of any) Not interested in musical theatre oriented programs (comedy and drama, not singing and dancing)</p>
