What is the Musical Theater Program (MTP)?
MTP provides the opportunity for young professionals to become accomplished musical theater performers. The program’s focus is to train ‘Triple Threats’- talented individuals who can sing, dance and act with equal accomplishment. Tuition in this program includes up to three (3) core classes (one acting, one dance and one vocal), along with a role in our Academy main stage production. The development of performance skills is a vital part of being a Triple Threat. With the opportunity to be on stage, students will grow into a polished stage performer. This program requires a hefty time commitment for classes and rehearsals. We hold our students enrolled in MTP to the highest of professionalism in order for them to survive this highly competitive field in the future. Students will be assessed and placed in classes that best suit their individual needs and may waive their vocal class if also enrolled in private vocal lessons. Students may also enroll in additional classes (outside of included core classes) for a reduced monthly fee of $15-$25/month per class.
Parents: Each child enrolled in MTP is responsible for a parent/guardian to volunteer at least 6 hours towards the production. If these volunteer hours are not possible, a buy out at $75.00 or comparable program ad sales are required. There are two mandatory parent meetings (first week of rehearsal and the week before tech week).
