<p>Our state doesn’t have performing arts high schools! So, the local public school is the only game in town. I’m sure the experience at certain performing arts high schools is amazing. Just saying that if you put together training for yourself and attend a regular sort of high school, you can make it into a BFA program as well. It won’t all happen at high school though. </p>
<p>My daughter had the fortunate opportunity to attend a theater camp for 8 summers and there she was with a very talented pool of students and a ton of those peers did indeed go onto theater colleges and many are working at the very top levels now of the industry. But this was NOT the case at our high school in rural Vermont.</p>
