<p>BRbway, thank you for clarifying the staff/faculty at Interlochen. I am glad you did. That set up then sounds similar to SDM. </p>
<p>The production aspect is one difference. I think I outlined a few others. The one thing that I think is common between both is that a theater kid will have a wonderful time, learn a lot, be among those who love what they do, and both programs are well regarded. I don’t think the OP’s D can lose either way.</p>
