Musical Theatre Intensive Alumni Chat

Our Musical Theatre Intensive program director Peter Jorgensen chats with alumni Darren Burkett, Sierra Brewerton, Shannon Hanbury, and Joel Grinke on their experiences in the program and now working together on the Arts Club's production of Beauty and the Beast.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Aimed at young artists (ages 12–19) with a passion for singing, dancing, and acting, the Arts Club’s Musical Theatre Intensive (MTI) exposes students to the kind of rigorous training typically found only at the post-secondary level and begins their journey toward becoming a true “triple threat” (actor/singer/dancer).

Now entering its 16th year, the MTI continues its history of emphasizing process over product, guiding our students through voice, dance, and acting techniques that can consistently be applied outside of our program as well. We don’t simply teach music and dance-steps; we give our students the skills to be authentic and expressive on any stage they play.
