Celebrating 40 years, the Musical Theatre program has helped hundreds of students launch successful performing careers!

Our largest departmental program, Musical Theatre, focuses upon making our students into complete performers as singers, actors, and dancers. Graduates go on to perform in regional theatres, on and off Broadway, and with regional and national touring companies.
