Does anyone have suggestions for good summer theatre programs?
I went to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts Summer Intensive back in 2006. The age range on average was about 17-25. Some kids weren’t going to school for acting, some wanted to in college, some weren’t in college at all, so it was a nice mix of people. You get assigned to a group which you stick with for all of your classes the entire seven weeks that you’re there so you really grow close. We never knew how the groups were divided up whether it was based on talent, age, etc. Our group in particular wa very diverse. We had three brits, one guy from Greece, one girl from Malaysia, two from the deep south, one from the midwest and me and three others who were from the northeast so it was a wide array of dialects in our group which made it very fun! You take classes in acting, movement, voice and speech, and singing (or as they called it vocal production) and then there were also other classes in musical theatre audition technique and career counseling. They offer other extra classes
