Designed to improve vocal and physical instruments, explore vital acting techniques, and get students fully prepped for the college audition process.
Musical Theater: Students are guided on what it takes to be a well-rounded musical theater artist, from acting to song & dance with an eye on college admission in the performing arts. Rising high school seniors gain valuable insight into technique, repertoire, and preparing for college auditions.
Musical Theater 2: Students receive specialized training on the pillars of musical theater, including private voice lessons, acting fundamentals, and dance for advanced high school sophomores and juniors. Students who are serious about studying musical theater but not quite ready to concentrate solely on their college auditions can focus on their core training and hone their skills.
ArtsBridge Summer offers two, one-week programs which are open to students who are enrolled in a two-week program with no additional application or audition:
JumpStart: Students work closely with our experienced team of college admission and essay experts in this college application and essay bootcamp open to rising seniors.
