Check out Missouri State University ! It has a wonderfu audition l program with an equity theatre that comes to its campus (53 hrs running) in the summer and does a NYC showcase and many alumni on Broadway ! The tuition for my daughter is only 13,500 yr including room and board ( out of state tuition waiver due to good test scores and an academic scholarship with talent scholarship to come jr and Sr years! She was accepted into 8 programs, some very well known ones included , but we were really impressed with program, connections and price at Missouri State! It’s also a beautiful campus!
