The Musical Theatre emphasis is designed to cultivate and nurture the creative artistry of those highly motivated students who wish to develop their combined talent as singers, actors and dancers. Students in the Musical Theatre emphasis program will thrive in this intense and dynamic program of coursework, practical application, performance-based projects, faculty and student directed productions, and special workshops with guest artists and instructors. Students will be expected to fully integrate their rigorous training as actors, dancers, and singers with the outstanding liberal arts education they will receive at UNH to become well-rounded and marketable musical theater artists. |
