Musical Theatre is designed to provide training in the specific skills required for success: acting, singing and dancing. The program combines classroom lessons with practical production experience, both of which are integral to the educational development of musical theatre performers. Classroom experience provides a theoretical, historical and critical examination for theatre. Production experience provides each student with practical opportunities for exploring and applying theories. Students in this program benefit from a close association with theatre, voice and dance professionals through classes and participation in productions. In addition to taking specific courses in music, theatre and dance, each student will complete a core of general education courses reflective of the liberal arts mission of Young Harris College.
