<p>My D and I are going to make a chart tomorrow - application dates, audition dates, paperwork requirements, etc., for her current list (which is pretty close to done). </p>
<p>The only way to know who auditions when is by looking at their websites … this gets hard, when what you’re doing is looking for an early audition date in order to find a school, as that “practice” school.</p>
<p>By chance, I discovered that IL State has a November audition date. They also have a summer Shakespeare festival, and I think my D and I will go down and see a show (3 hrs away). IL State is in the same town as IL Wesleyan, so she could look at it, too. The BA at IW requires an interview, so I’m thinking, if she likes the schools, that she could try to interview at IW and audition at IS in November … IW says you can still audition for the BFA in the winter if you want both options. </p>
<p>Anyway, I only discovered this because someone mentioned IS casually and I had a minute one day and perused the website - not the most efficient method!</p>
<p>I will start a thread for audition dates Acting schools in this Forum. People could then (please!) add to it; my start will be very short … and self-centered, my D’s current choices.</p>
