MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANIES

Pre-Professional Musical Theatre Companies

Train. Perform. Grow as a complete musical theatre artist.


Our Musical Theatre Companies offer a structured, high-level experience where students train in acting, voice, and dance while working together as a performance ensemble. Designed for committed students, these companies combine skill-building with real production experience.


Auditions for 2026-2027 companies are April 25th!

AUDITION INFO

Why join a company?

More than a class—it’s a focused training experience.


Students build skills across acting, voice, and dance, working consistently as an ensemble toward a culminating performance. The emphasis is on growth, discipline, and developing strong, well-rounded performers.

Our Approach

We believe strong, naturalistic acting is the foundation of musical theatre.


Students train in authentic, story-driven performance while building the vocal and dance technique needed to become well-rounded, versatile performers..



Comprehensive Training

Students receive weekly instruction in:

  • Acting
  • Vocal technique & music
  • Dance (with leveled placement based on ability)
  • Musical Theatre skills (doing all 3 at once!)


Each student is placed in the level that best supports their growth, allowing them to be challenged while building confidence.
