In the summer of 2022, MMT will be starting a brand new program called the MMT Conservatory Company.
This Company will serve as MMTC’s junior apprentice company, and students accepted into the company will spend time intensely training all of their acting, singing, dance, and other theatre skills, and producing MMT’s summer MainStage production. Company members will also have the opportunity to participate in other MMT professional productions, and will emerge one step above everyone else entering the college and professional worlds!
Company members will take part in MMT’s summer company intensive, which will be comprised of a comprehensive four-week training schedule in which students will advance their knowledge of acting, singing, dancing, professional auditions, contracts, the business of theatre, etc. The intensive will also include rehearsals for the final professional performance, will be open to the public and part of MMT’s MainStage/Young Audiences season.
Students who audition for and enroll in each of the three audition-only classes (Acting Conservatory, Music Theatre Conservatory, and Dance Conservatory) at least once during the academic year (i.e. fall semester 2021 and/or spring semester 2022) will automatically be eligible for acceptance into the summer MMT Conservatory Company and will not need to re-audition. For those who do not enroll in audition-only classes during the year, separate auditions for the summer Conservatory Company will also be held in the spring semester, but preference will be given to those who have already taken courses with MMT during the academic year.
With the creation of this program, MMT hopes to provide an additional level of training to its students in an intensive and professional setting. This program will take MMT’s ordinary training to the next level, and students accepted into this audition-only company will graduate one step above other students their age. Not only will students emerge from this training program knowing how to prepare for an audition, what to bring to an audition, how to warm-up, and what to wear for auditions and rehearsals, but MMT’s Conservatory Company will also provide students with an automatic professional performance credit each summer, as well as lots of fun, MMT Conservatory Company-exclusive merch! Most importantly, students will leave the program with all of the skills needed to thrive in the musical theatre and performance industry long term, including intense professional training and technique work in the areas of singing, dancing and acting.
We hope to see all of our students in classes this semester and, especially, in our brand new Conservatory Company starting this summer!
