I do not know if an SAT of 1100 would be acceptable to them, but if it is
you might consider McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. My 
number 2 daughter
attends McGill. McGill is highly regarded, and Montreal is a wonderful 
city that
is extremely multicultural. Your daughter's language ability, and the 
fact that she is
neither Canadian nor American, might be considered in her favor. In 
addition,
McGill is quite inexpensive. Montreal is an absolute hotbed of the 
performing arts.
If not McGill, consider Concordia, also in Montreal and perhaps easier 
to get into(?)
If her French is good enough, consider UQaM (university of Quebec at 
Montreal.)

Is University really necessary for a career in theater? I have no clue.
