aqualline 2, seriously look in to Interlochen. (interlochen is a performing arts academy, bording high school, in traverse city michigan, which is also renowned for its summer programs in all areas of the arts) The alumn list for interlochen theatre summer programs is plentifulll with great performers (barrett foa, victoria clark, anthony rapp, on and on!!)
anyway, the offered summer programs in musical theatre are the One week musical theatre intensive, the three week musical theatre workshop (which performs a revue at the end of the session) and a six week Musical Theatre Production major (which performs a full scale musical production of very good quality at the end of the six weeks)
there is also a six week repertory theatre major, which produces a full straight play at the end of the session.
all of these majors are offered to rising 9th graders through graduated seniors and acceptance is based on an audition tape and application sent in february.
These programs, especially musical theatre production, are well - known and respected by professionals (and colleges!) and are some of the best for our age group in summer training. i did musical theatre workshop, three week session, two summers ago and loved it.
Know, however, that Interlochen Arts Camp is a CAMP, intended as a summer camp, which includes sleeping in cabins! but its well worth looking at for you
