University of California- Los Angeles

PROGRAM OVERVIEW IN “THEIR WORDS”

The Ray Bolger Musical Theater Program at UCLA does not have any one particular philosophical focus — rather, a series of technique and ideas are taught. The program’s emphasis is in acting, with the goal of graduating actors who can also sing and dance. Musical theater students are integrated into the acting sequence classes. The primary objective is for the actor to be able to find what works best for him/her or what works best for a particular role. Musical theater students may find themselves performing in Ibsen and Chekhov as well as Sondheim and Kotis.
