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 four (4) weekly classes. MTP students are required to take (3) core technique driven classes (one acting, one dance and one vocal) and the fourth class is optional and totally up to you! Along with weekly classes students are given a role in our main stage production (Fall & Winter Terms) or Travel Troupe (Spring Term) that meets up to 3 days a week for rehearsal. 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 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. Intermediate/Advanced students interested in musical theater are encouraged to enroll in this program. 

Note to Parents
Each child enrolled in MTP is responsible for a guardian to volunteer at least 6 hours towards the production or pay an additional $125 fee. MPA is a volunteer run organization and each production requires hundreds of volunteer hours to make it happen.  The support of parent volunteers are vital for the sustainability of our organization.  There are two mandatory parent meetings (first week of rehearsal and the week before tech week). 


For a weekly class schedule click HERE. 

MTP Rehearsals are Friday, Saturday and Sunday (Charlie Brown), Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (SpongeBob) and Thursday and Saturday (Travel Troupe). Additional days/times of the week for Soft Tech, Cue2Cue, Tech and Dress Rehearsals. 
.​Do not enroll if you are unavailable during any soft tech, tech, dress or performance dates.
​
All dates are on the master calendar 
here

For class communication we use a free app called BAND.
This is the place where important class-specific information, announcements, parent volunteer sign ups and upcoming events will be posted.
It's also where recordings, sheet music, choreography videos, performance dates, etc will be uploaded for at home rehearsal.
BAND also allows students and teachers to connect one on one. Students and/or parents can ask clarifying questions directly to their teachers and teachers will have everything posted in one place rather than having to look through several emails. 


Click HERE to access the general MPA BAND page.
​Performance classes will receive another link at registration for their specific class pages.

What People are Saying About MPA

"I am so impressed with Metropolitan Performing Arts! We have had such a great experience in working with them each year. Barbara Richardson has been so helpful in making sure that our daughter was getting the best of care. I also really appreciate the high quality level of costumes and props and imagination that are put into the Harry Potter LARP camps and also the performances we've seen during the years. The acting examples of the teachers and of the older students speaks well of the quality of teaching that my daughter is getting. I feel very fortunate that we have found this academy. And best of all our daughter just loves coming! We wouldn't miss it! In a day and age when money is tight, we feel it is money well spent." - Emily Ihasz

"Metropolitan Performing Arts is a wonderful performing arts school for children. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and kind. Their classes, events, and camps engage young people." - Kristin Nordberg

​"My daughter has been taking classes and performing with Metro for about a year and nothing makes her happier than being a part of this group. She has gained confidence and skills and has enjoyed every minute. She feels welcome and supported and encouraged by the warm and caring and talented staff. Metro is her "happy place." -Alia Woolfe Walsh

"My son has been with MPA since he was in 3rd grade. He came to me one day and said, "Mom, I want to be on stage." It is so amazing that there is a place like Metropolitan Performing Arts in our community to provide access to the arts for kids of all ages. Not just access, but QUALITY, authentic theater training, and classes. You've brought the passion out for my son. Thank you!​" - Gail Moore

"Great program for kids. My daughters have learned so much about being in a show. From auditioning to take down a set and everything in between. Great teachers and great environment!" -Cristina Kennington

"My kids have been taking lessons and performing with this group for years. While always mostly happy with things in the past, after recent changes to staff and programming, we are super happy. Amazing tap and jazz teachers and some really fun acting teachers. My kids have learned so much at MPA."-Kristie Gebhard

"
We found Metropolitan Performing Arts by chance when I was looking for summer activities for my daughter. She loved it and now two years later being a part of the Metro Family has been such an amazing experience for us all. She has learned so much about singing, acting & dance. The productions are phenomenal, the instructors are passionate & make classes so fun for the kids. The friendships she has made and the confidence she has gained from taking part in shows & classes in these two years are priceless. Highly recommend for anyone with kids looking to find their niche in the performing arts!" - Joanna Connelly

"Life changing experience for my daughter! There has been a dramatic improvement in her grades at school and her drive to succeed in other areas of life since joining."- Melissa Galland
