o gosh...could you do a search, it would help you a lot. as someone before has said these threads usually go like this:

OCU
Interlochen
Stagedoor
frenchwoods
cherubs
mpulse
stagedoor
stagedoor

if you want a super intensive program, one with less people that are selected by audition are it. depends on what you want. good luck

Yes...a search will find you many messages on summer camps.

But OCU is one great (and in my book..the top) summer program but I think I read that they are full and not taking anymore people this summer. It says they start accepting auditions in December so you might want to apply early since they fill up quick. My friend didn't get accepted..of course she waited till April!! It's hard to be accepted but its the best musical theater summer camp around so everyone tries to get in!!

You might look at some other places..especially ones that you dont have to audition for. Stagedoor you dont need to audition to get it, but then the talent level is iffy.

And can someone answer this...I thought Interlochen was a big top school to get into? I knew a girl who audition who didnt even get calledback for our school musical and can't sing at all..yet she was accepted to their vocal program?? OhMyGAWD...What's up with them. I thought they were suppose to be like Julliard? My opinion of them has gone way down hill after that!! Maybe they need the money.
