<p>My kid went to a state-funded cyber charter school. Not only was there no drama program there, there was no “there” there. Like soozievt’s daughter, she was lucky enough to go to some summer programs, and she did a decent amount of acting in our city. But I suppose none of these factors will help her penetrate the mafiosi described below. 
Despite not having gone to a PA school, she was lucky enough to get into some good college programs (and you can only go to one college at a time, anyway.)</p>
<p>We did observe that the kids from Interlochen who were on the audition circuit seemed very well prepared and competent. Same with the LaGuardia kids. If you have an opportunity to go to a PA schools, do consider it. But I would not have wanted my daughter to go to boarding school for high school even if we could have afforded it-- I’d have missed her too much.</p>
