Students in the B.A. in Theatre, Musical Theatre Concentration practice incremental techniques and skills necessary for the art form of musical theatre including singing, dancing, and acting and musical theatre history, theory, and repertoire. Students train to analyze and perform contemporary and classical scripts as actors, to effectively deliver highly physical staging or dance, and to practice healthy habits that support a lifetime of vocal production for the stage, screen, and/or recording. As informed collaborators, students contribute to the creation, rehearsal, development, and future of musical theatre performance.

MUSICAL THEATRE IN PERFORMANCE: Develop a unique artistic vision by practicing incremental techniques and skills necessary to perform in the discipline of musical theatre, including singing, dancing, and acting.
MUSICAL THEATRE ARTISTRY: Develop an understanding of the musical theatre performer as a collaborative artist, and creative visionary, and explore the discipline of musical theatre as an artform, its history, repertory, conventions, and etiquette.
