July 30 to August 4, 2024!

This live, in-person event takes you and your audition material to the next level. Held in midtown NYC, you’ll be led by a diverse group of competitive college faculty from across the country.

This important week in your college audition preparation gives you the opportunity to:

– Receive valuable coaching and training directly from college faculty members you might audition for your senior year.

– Connect with other eager students who share the same passions for theater that you do. We have several off-site and on site activities planned to grow your connections.

– Build community with other students from across the country also on the college audition journey.

– Meet with MTCA student and parent alumni and gain “been there, done that” inside tips and support.

– Attend an MTCA exclusive talk back with members of a Broadway production.

– Spend time exploring New York City with your MTCA team!

Summer is the time.

Build your competitive edge and shine for the college faculty master teachers before you record your required prescreen submissions.

The MTCA Class of 2023 ROCKED Their Summer Faculty Masterclass Week!

Our 2024 teachers will be announced soon.

2023 teachers included:

“I always LOVE working with MTCA students and staff! 

The students are so happy and excited to learn. It brings me the most joy when I meet and work with the students at MTCA and then become their teacher when they attend Boston Conservatory!

You can’t go wrong attending this program.”

Director, Musical Theater Dance Intensive 
Professor, Boston Conservatory at Berklee

“I absolutely love teaching the MTCA students!

They are open-minded, curious, and game for anything. I know that whatever style of dance or movement I bring to the workshop the students will jump in with both feet. They are fearless! And kind. And professional. I just can’t say enough good things about my interactions with the entire MTCA crew over the years.

They are the most amazing humans and the work they do on behalf of the students is truly exceptional.”

Michele Dunleavy
Associate Professor of Dance
Penn State University

“I have loved working with MTCA.

They do a stellar job preparing students for their upcoming auditions.  The leadership is a group of top-notch professionals with clear expertise, impeccable organization, and insight.  The students I worked with were talented, curious, enthusiastic, and extremely well prepared. 

I had a wonderful time coaching them, learning about them, giving audition advice, and answering questions about our program. Truly a highlight of my summer.”
