“Long Island with its proximity to New York has always been fertile ground for people who are interested in musical theatre as well as professions in music in general...I think that the Long Island Musical Theatre Festival is perpetuating a tradition. But of course with its pre-professional training program now, it’s providing a resource that didn’t exist prior to this.”
— Stephen Schwartz (Composer of Wicked, Pippin, Godspell), BroadwayWorld

ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

From casting to the final curtain call, a full production will be learned in only 10 days! 

If musical theatre is your passion, look no further for Long Island’s premier intensive training program. Our professional Teaching Artists have worked on Broadway and in Long Island’s most reputable regional, college, and community theaters. We look forward to sharing our passion for this craft with you!

This year, our intermediate students will perform a fully stage production of ANNIE JR. Past productions included BYE BYE BIRDIE: YOUTH EDITION, 13 JR, FAME JR, GODSPELL JR, and choral medleys from DEAR EVAN HANSEN, HAMILTON, and SHREK. In addition to casting, staging, choreographing, and performing this musical in only ten days, students will receive invaluable training in voice, dance, acting, and audition technique. They will also get to observe a masterclass with a Broadway guest artist.
