@loribelle, My daughter is a MT sophomore and attended (after passing prescreen for her state) SETC last Spring. She was blessed to get a few callbacks at SETC for summer work and also found the conference to be an excellent learning experience. One of her callbacks was from a theatre group in MA where she applied to and was accepted to an intern program. Although we had to pay for her to attend, it was SO worth the $. She was in 2 shows, was an understudy for an equity show (earning equity points), attended many masters classes, and overall had the time of her life. One of her friends attended SETC also and had a summer job at Hershey Park which she loved. I highly recommend attending one of the summer stock audition conferences as a freshman, if nothing else for the experience of it. Also as @duxellen said, google summer stock and look at all the opportunities available. Something else we looked at were summer camps where they hire counselors to lead the campers in theatre, dance etc. Some places start taking applications as early as December. Good luck!
