Internships, Research Opportunities and More

To hone their skills, students in the Musical Theatre BFA program take part in juried performances at the end of each semester such as a studio voice recital, or a slate of audition material.

The Theatre Department is an active member of Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF), which means a representative within the network sees our faculty-directed productions to review and recognize students for outstanding work in performance, stage management and design.

Students are encouraged and coached to audition at unified auditions, such as the A1 Conference, StrawHat Auditions and the New England Theatre Conference, to procure summer employment at summer stock theatre companies, theme parks, cruise ships or other performance venues.

After You Graduate

After completing the BFA in musical theatre, most students will move to New York City or another major theatrical hub to pursue full-time theatrical employment as a freelance artist. Those who book theatre work will frequently perform regionally, on national or international tours, and/or cruise ships and theme parks before securing higher profile productions on Broadway or with other major NYC theatre companies. Students with a strong stage background also frequently work in television, film, commercials and voiceovers.
