Actor Musicianship: Theater Focus Certificate
There is a significant demand in the professional theater world, on Broadway and beyond, for performers that combine great acting technique with professional-level musicianship. Sharing the principles of the Theater BFA in Performance core with the technique and applied skills of the School of Music programs, this program will focus on skill acquisition in both areas, as well as synthesizing these skills together in an actor musician workshop.
The Actor Musicianship: Theater Focus Certificate can be completed in 24 credit hours and is designed primarily for existing music majors who wish to develop the necessary skills for actor musicianship outside their major of study. Performance opportunities within the School of Theater are also possible.
