Students in musical theatre may also have the opportunity to direct, design, stage-manage, choreograph or serve as a dramaturge depending on area of interest and expertise. Students hone their skills as performers within experimental productions, classroom performance work, main-stage shows and opportunities to work professionally in the Des Moines community. Musical Theatre students also get summer performance work and internships.
The primary difference between this program and programs at other institutions is the amount of experience and cross training students can receive. In addition to specific intense training in musical theatre, students will also learn and gain experience in every other aspect of theatre production. This approach gives students both a greater appreciation for the profession as a whole and valuable experience beyond their specific area of expertise.
