MIDDLE SCHOOL INTENSIVE

All students will thrive in this program – both curious new performers, and accomplished young professionals will find a safe environment for risk-taking and learning!

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 and look forward to sharing their passion for this craft with you! From casting to the final curtain call, a full production will be learned in only 10 days! 

Past productions have included a fully staged production of 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 preview a number from their show in the music revue alongside our High School / College intensive participants and attend a masterclass with a Broadway guest artist.
