Question: Is this a good plan to start my career in acting!?
I live in a town with absolutely no acting programs, theaters(not movie theaters of course) or anything like that so next year when I'm 16 I want to go to a boarding school with an excellent art program!. I want to take all 3 acting courses if I can!. I just want to go there for my junior year so that I've been in alot of plays and took acting courses to really prepare me!. Then I want to move to a big city, Houston Texas to live with my family there and continue there by finding an agent there!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It looks like you got yourself a plan there!. If you really want to be committed and make Acting as a career - you definitely need to get yourself in the center of the Entertainment!. (New York or Los Angeles)
I don't know what the scene is like in Houston Texas!.!.!. but I know you will find plenty in LA or NY!.

Boarding School sounds like a plan!. You might also want to see if there's any exchange school program!. I recently met with an Actress from Netherlands!. She's spent a year in New York, and studied at Less Strasberg Institute under NYU's Theatrical program!. She told me there are zero opportunities for her back home, and she was able to work on so many projects while she was in NY!. Now she's considering moving to New York after she graduate from college!.

But before all that - and since your area offers no acting class, no drama club, no theater troupes!.!.!. then you can also get yourself familiarize with the Show Biz, and learn how this industry works!.

Here are some books that might be helpful with your career down the road!.

"Acting as Business" by Brian O'Neil
"Self-Management for Actors" by Bonnie Gillespie
"An Agent Tells All" by Tony Martinez

And if you have the money to take online acting class!.!.!. you can check out http://www!.pennytempletonstudio!.com (She is a New York based Acting Coach, who offers ONLINE lessons)
