Lulu’sMom, I would also recommend that you try to get a copy of the spring issue of a magazine called Dramatics. I think it is put out by the International Thespian Society. That issue lists a ton of summer programs, and many are not as pricey as Interlochen or Stage Door Manor, etc. Off the top of my head, I can’t name many, but more than a few are based at various colleges and universities and some offer financial aid. It’s worth checking out in advance for next summer.
This summer, my D is attending the summer theater camp offered by the American Shakespeare Center in Virginia, and they offer financial aid. It’s NOT musical theater, but it is great acting training. Google “Shenandoah Shakespeare” and you should be able to get some info, if your D is interested. Once mine is back, I will let the group know more details about how it went.
