"Let's start at the very beginning . . ."

My D is a rising Sr. this year and we will be in the thick of auditions and interviews. She was fortunate to gain artistic acceptance to Belmont University BFA theatre and LIU-Post BFA theatre after auditions at SETC this past spring as a junior. We were pleasantly surprised as we can now focus on more “reach” schools. She just completed three weeks at UNCSA participating in intro to stage combat through the National Stage Combat Workshop. UNCSA also has a summer drama camp. Price is quite reasonable compared to some places like Interlochen, NYU-Tisch etc… She loved the course and had the opportunity to work with several fightmasters who have worked on Broadway and in film/TV. She has been accepted to the Theatre Performance intensive at the Stratford Festival later this summer. It is audition based but they have a non auditioned program as well. Both of these programs are less expensive together than BUSTI or NYU. I will update again after she completes the course at Stratford. I think these are two excellent summer opportunites. Worth a look for next summer.
