Our 20-week Musical Theatre program provides comprehensive training in singing, acting and movement through 90-minute weekly classes.

Led by professional musical theatre performers actively working in Australia, students develop vocal technique, character, choreography, stage movement and ensemble skills while rehearsing a complete production.
