Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre
The Musical Theatre Program is a dynamic training experience for students who seek a professional career in Musical Theatre. The curriculum is fundamentally craft-based, offering rich and intensive courses in singing, acting, music, and dancing. We also have a commitment to bringing in guest artists and other visiting professionals to complement our existing curriculum. Our comprehensive course of study requires that students who successfully complete the program must be motivated, committed, hard-workers, as well as gifted. Students must demonstrate continued progress and development and pass ongoing faculty evaluations in order to remain in the program. Performance opportunities include Performance Riverside, a semi-professional theatre located on the campus of 女优app, which is home to a season of three productions each year, and, our flexible black box space which produces 1-2 productions each year.
