Musical Theater Major

The three-year Musical Theater major is uniquely designed to provide rigorous professional training in acting, speech, singing, movement and dance.

Our goal is to graduate performers who are truly “triple threats,” trained in singing, acting and dancing, and ready for careers in show business.

Students will have opportunities to learn about career strategies, audition techniques, and a variety of performance skills. Guest artists from the New York theatrical community and the world stage will facilitate special workshops and master classes.

Public and in-house performing opportunities are built into the program to provide significant practical experience and audience interaction.

To succeed in the highly competitive field of musical performance, performers must be prepared to work in all venues, Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater, road shows, live industrials, motion pictures and television, cruise lines, theme parks and night clubs – cabarets and revues. We want our students prepped and ready for all these professional employment options.

Students who are in good standing and have obtained the necessary credits for graduation,will be introduced to the profession through a showcase performance in New York City.

The Hartford Conservatory Musical Theater faculty is committed to working effectively with all students who enter the program, regularly evaluating their progress toward professional readiness.

A student graduating from the Hartford Conservatory Musical Theater Program will have developed the skills required, developed the ability to maximize opportunities, and acquired the performance versatility necessary to get and do the job as a professional musical theater performer.
