<p>Matthewjer18, you say, “When I’m asked, or if I am asked, what I’ve done in theater outside of my education, how could you present participation in these programs and how would they look at committing over several weeks to them vs. occasional participation in community theater over a span of time?”</p>
<p>Your resume will show what you have done, in terms of productions and training. It’s all good, as long as you have been learning, and doing things that are of value to you. </p>
<p>For admission to auditioned college programs, the audition is the main thing. The more training you have, the better your audition is likely to be.</p>
<p>Community theatre varies in its quality, but it’s great to do it if you can. In our area, the community theatre opportunities occur during the year, rather than the summer. I don’t see why you couldn’t do the program at Drew and also continue to gain community theatre experience.</p>
<p>The summer program you are contemplating sounds terrific. It’s not something just anyone could do, because of the cost. I think you should do it.</p>
