FAQs

  • Yes, some previous experience is required. The Musical Theatre Intensive is an audition-based program designed for dedicated performers ages 13–25 who are ready to take on a fast-paced rehearsal process and a fully staged production in just eight weeks. Students should have a solid foundation in singing, acting, and/or dance and feel comfortable learning quickly, working independently, and collaborating with a cast and creative team.

    This program is ideal for performers with prior training or stage experience who are looking to grow, be challenged, and gain real-world theatre experience in a professional-style setting.

  • Mandatory dates are essential to the success of the production and the safety and confidence of all performers. Each cast member plays a crucial role, and missing key rehearsals or performances affects not only their own preparation but also the entire ensemble. Tech week is when we finalize staging, lighting, cues, and transitions—these cannot be learned or adjusted last minute. Absences during mandatory dates create disruptions and place extra pressure on the rest of the team. For this reason, we require full commitment to mandatory dates in order to participate in the program.
