UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

PROGRAM OVERVIEW IN “THEIR WORDS”

The Musical Theatre program offered by the Department is a highly competitive conservatory based program. Unique in its approach, the Musical Theatre program is complementary to the Performance program. The student is trained to be a singing actor who possesses a solid vocal and acting technique for work, not only on the musical stage, but also in non-musical theatre as well. Rounding out the curriculum is the sequence in dance and movement that embraces all forms of movement and dance techniques necessary for a successful career in theatre. Students are exposed to a wide ranging repertoire of plays both in the classroom and during our production season.
