All musical theatre students also complete a strong core of liberal arts courses. Student progress in the option is measured in class work, performances, and juries.

Over four years the students will have the opportunity to audition for one or two musicals each year that will cover the classic American musical, new works, and operettas.

Our New York Showcase programs give seniors in this and the acting option an opportunity to audition for casting agents, graduate schools, and industry professionals.
