2025-2026 Pre Professional Company

The Pre-Professional Company is a selective, audition-only training experience designed for dedicated students passionate about musical theatre. The program is divided into two age groups: one for middle school students and one for high school students, ensuring age appropriate training and mentorship.

This dynamic 14-week journey is designed to elevate their musical theatre skills, build confidence, and prepare them for the stage. With expert instruction from industry professionals and Broadway level guests, students will rotate through vocal, acting, dance, and audition focused masterclasses, culminating in a showcase for New York City agents and casting directors in the spring semester.
