The Musical Theatre concentration prepares students for life as working artists in the musical theatre field. Practical training and creative experiences are coupled with an interdisciplinary liberal arts curriculum and a foundation in theatre history, analysis and criticism. The School of Theatre and Dance produces an annual New York City Musical Theatre Showcase. In their senior year, students must audition and be selected in order to participate. The Showcase experience enables students to perform for prospective casting directors, talent managers, and theatrical and commercial agents.
