<p>I assumed that the OP wanted theatre/acting and so while BTP is great, I would only suggest it for someone more into MT training. </p>
<p>vwilson…I disagree with you that theater intensives that are for younger than HS (which often include HS age kids as well) are simply more like camp than “real training”. My daughter went to Stagedoor Manor for 8 summers. She learned a great deal about her field and got good training. In fact, she, along with MANY of her peers there got into the top BFA programs in the field, and those who have come after her, have also done so. Many have won top national awards and many have gone onto Broadway, National Tours, and the like. The ones who I know who have attended have not thought of it as inferior training for youth 10-18. The training and experience gleaned here has been significant in my daughter (now age 20)'s life.</p>
