[quote=Anonymous]Previous Poster (Not OP).

I was kind of making the assumption that if OP was hoping for a strong drama/MT program, they would already have a voice coach or some kind of theatre life outside of school and want to continue. I realize that could be kind of "intense" of me and I recall a conversation I had with another mom about my child working with a voice coach to perfect their audition song, and she was like, "Is everyone doing that? It seems like everyone is doing that" and in fact, most people were. Just like strong athletes who go to clinics and camps.

Strong programs do get competitive. My theatre kid is also on the spectrum, and memorizing large blocks of text as well as repeating the same note until it sounds "perfect" = part of their superpower.  The warm and welcoming drama clubs (in school and out) were great for them. Some kids love being in the ensemble.

There are also schools that have some casual events, like festivals for the arts and events where you write your own plays.

It may help OP to consider if there are opportunities to take a drama or theatre tech or dance class during the day.  Not every school offers those. Those that do are more invested in the arts across the board, I think.

Checking out those instagram pages about "decisions" could work. Are the schools send students to college for MT, drama, or music? [/quote]
