Question Posted Thursday May 12 2005, 5:00 pm

(13/f) I live in Rhode Island and want to become an actress. Does anyone know of anywhere where I could go to get started? Please dont say my school because I need something for the summer! I'll rate 1's for people who say do something at my school and for "i dont know" and any other stupid remarks. I'll give 5's for anyone with a real answer and put effort into it.

*Stadium Threater is putting on one but you have to be 16+

During the summer look for a community theater. There might be more than Stadium Theater, but if there aren't, look for summer camps online or go to your school counselor and ask them if they know of any.

www.stagedoormanor.com Stagedoor is an AMAZING acting camp. Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, and other well known stars went there when they were younger. Unfortunately, it's insanely expensive and the waiting list is from here till Tuesday, so don't expect to do it this summer. But think about it.

Andddd.
Okay, I know you don't want to do something in your school, but that's the FIRST PLACE TO START. Start with your school during school time. Be involved in the school plays and join something like choir. Even if you can't sing very well, work on it. Acting involves a lot of singing, dancing, etc. I would know. I've been acting since I was 7. And I'm 15 now.

There's alot of talent agencies on the internet you can do some research on. It's best to start out modeling first.

YAY another RI person on here! Well I am not an acting buff but I have a few ideas. I don't know exactly where you live in Rhode Island but I will try to give you a few places I have found. I would suggest that you look at your Neighborhood Parks and Recreation building. They usually have acting classes for younger teenagers/kids for a fairly cheap rate. If that does work then I suggest you look and try to find if your town has any neighborhood centers for Arts. Many of them have classes in the arts and community theater that you can start in. And I hate to say it but talking to your schools Music/Drama department is really where you get the best information. Alot of the towns in RI have community theaters/art centers. There are also quite a few Neighborhood Parks and Recreation buildings, it may be located in/near your Town Hall.

Every actress needs lots of training. Since it's a talent that has to be developed. See if there is a Performing Arts School near you and take up some acting classes.
