Theatre homeschool students

<p>In our experience, homescholing allows more time for the arts than traditional schooling. My Dd has been very lucky to be get in to NYC to see 4 - 5 Broadway shows a year, plus numerous off-Broadway and regional shows. She studies acting in New York as well, with terrific coaches. She’s got a private voice teacher and a private dance coach.</p>

<p>Her acting resume serves as part of a transcript, as it includes all the performances she has participated in and the training she’s had. </p>

<p>Her academic reading list always includes plays and film scripts. You can list all the books about acting you have read on your list as well.</p>

<p>You, as a homeschooled student, have lots of freedom in extra-curriculars. Is there a nursing home or preschool nearby? They might like you to come sing a couple songs once a week (extracurricular AND community service). </p>

<p>My daughter has performed with an acting tropue that raises consciousness about animal rights as a community service activity. She is also a founding member of a dance troupe and acts every year in a community theatre which donates all of its proceeds to local charities. Lastly, she assists her acting coach with younger classes.</p>

<p>Academics and musical theatre can coexist very well together. Good luck to you in your scholarly/performing adventures.</p>
