Musical Theater Summer Intensive

32-Bar Vocal Introduction and Sheet Music

Select one or more piece(s) of music demonstrating your ability to act and sing. We ask that you have cut and noted sheet music ready to supply an accompanist. If you are inexperienced in preparing vocal selections, we recommend “Happy Birthday” as a great solution in a pinch.

Professional Classroom Preparation and Etiquette: General Attire

We ask that students dress appropriately and wear their hair out of their face. Consider straight-legged yoga pants and a nicely cut tank top. Gym shorts or sweats are also welcome if worn appropriately (i.e., not oversized). See-through leggings, sagging pants, crop tops, or anything that reveals undergarments is unacceptable. We strongly recommend not wearing jeans, zippers, belt buckles, or dangling jewelry.

• For acting class, please wear well-fitting clothing that doesn’t inhibit your full range of motion. Students will work barefoot in acting class.
• For dance class, please come prepared with proper jazz or ballet shoes (indoor dance shoes only) and form-fitting pants/tights or leotards. Again, undergarments should not be visible at any time.

Final Showcase and Open Studios

During the final showcase and open studio performances, you will need to wear professional black stage apparel. Please remember that not all black clothing is alike. Make sure that your black stage clothing is nontransparent onstage under lights (i.e., thick, high-quality material only, and no holes, frayed edges, or distressed clothing). All performers must wear pants and T-shirts or long-sleeved shirts (i.e., no tank tops, dresses, or skirts). Student footwear must be dance appropriate, black, and clean (i.e., no low-cut necks, belly shirts, crop tops, or low-rise pants). We also ask that students wear dark undergarments and socks.
