Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Music Theatre] From University of Hartford

In a carefully planned progression of acting, voice, dance and musicianship classes -- along with weekly individual singing lessons and coachings -- students expand both their craft and their creative imagination so that they can be successful in a wide range of theatrical styles from the contemporary to the classical. Our unique partnerships with the renowned Goodspeed Musicals and the Tony Award-winning Hartford Stage company are part of our thorough career preparation curriculum that readies our students to seek work as professional actors.

Performance opportunities at Hartford are extensive and designed to expose students to musicals and other plays from across the theatrical repertoire. Starting with second year projects and culminating with full-scale, professionally designed productions, the season is chosen to provide each class with challenging onstage experiences. in the fourth year, our students are in residence at Goodspeed Musicals for three weeks in January working on a festival of new works. Music Theatre students may also audition for the Hartford Stage Company's annual production of?A Christmas Carol?as well as other Equity productions in the company's season. Many of our students join the Equity Membership Candidate Program during their time at Hartford
