I am an aspiring actress and would very much like to go some where with it other than just a hobby. Problem is I live in a very small town that has a great Fine Arts Program but no publicity. Another problem I don't know exactly where I am going to be living next year. I would like to have a career in Acting.

Hi, kiwichika!
What sort of experience have you already had with acting, please?
Thanks!

Hang around Schwabs Drug Store? ;)
Seriously, you need to go where the jobs are. And that means NY or LA. Then you have go to casting call after casting call and hope for a break.
Two other places to consider are the theme parks and cruise ships. They all put on musical revues and tend to a fairly high turnover of talent.

Hi again, kiwichika!
I know that your question is somewhat dated now, but another avenue to try would be dinner theaters. I have a cousin who makes his entire living acting in dinner theaters around the U.S.
Thanks!
