I imagined a kid standing like a starfish onstage receiving applause. It worked, but I guess the opposite of what you intended.

As the parent of a serious theater kid, I agree that publics are a good option, but whether a kid is in private or public school, most kids do "outside" theater. OP mentions Bethesda, and there is a conservatory at Imagination Stage that is quite good and tends to put on classic works. The pre-professional program at Round House is also great, and more focused on contemporary theater. Traveling Players at Tyson's has a high quality Shakespeare program, as does Lumina in Silver Spring. For musical theater, Adventure Theater or the Imagination Stage musical theater programs are very strong.

Basically, I would not spend that much time worrying about the theater programs at individual MS and HS, because that's not where kids are getting their training. A small private will have more opportunities for every kid to get a role. A big public will be able to put on giant spectacles and typically have more opportunities for kids who want to explore the production/technical theater sides. [/quote]
