[Sunday MTP Audition Info & Sign Up]

  • The Advanced MTP “class” will run as a production. This means auditioning to get in, and a rehearsal schedule depending on the scenes, dances, and songs we are working on each week. Your student may or may not be called the entire time each week. Schedules will be sent out monthly. 
  • Since this will be a condensed process and more advanced,  the students will be expected to learn things at a faster rate and practice more at home. We will be taking everything up a notch in terms of pace, learning material, challenging dances and songs, etc.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL BE OFFERING THE MONDAY/SATURDAY CLASS: BELOW. THIS IS A SEPARATE CLASS FROM THE SUNDAY MTP CLASS.

MONDAY 6:00 PM/SATURDAY 11:00 AM MUSICAL THEATRE PRODUCTION CLASS OPTION

    • We are happy to announce that Miss Erica will be returning as the director for the MTP Class that will meet twice a week. This class will be held on Mondays from 6:00 PM- 8:00 PM and Saturdays from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM at the Birmingham location.  This class will continue to guide and nurture students to be well-versed in all facets of Musical Theatre. We anticipate all levels of performers participating in the class. The production will take place in March (Date is TBD), at the Southfield Studio. Please note that there will no longer be a Friday class for the 2026/27 season.
    • This is a separate class from the Sunday MTP class. No audition is required to be enrolled in this class. There will be in-class auditions for Beetlejuice Jr. 
    • Monthly Tuition is $175
