Anyone I could connect with about Meisner (NYU)?

@sadsk8er As @jasmom already mentions, students in any studio can take private voice lessons. There are also dance electives in Open Arts.

But the main reason for my post is to make you aware that Playwrights Horizon has a Musical Theater Practicum! Did you know that?

Music Theater:
Recognizing current trends in American and International Theater, the New Music Theater Practicum at Playwrights Horizons Theater School offers advanced students the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the exciting field of Music Theater. Driven by music, and incorporating experimental forms and interdisciplinary combinations, the New Music Theater Practicum demands a rigorous commitment to craft, the flexibility to incorporate the ever-expanding opportunities presented by new media, and the intellectual rigor to participate as a full collaborator in the development of new work. Playwrights’ project-driven methodology offers a fertile landscape for the ambitious Music Theater artist. Emerging and professional lyricists, composers and writers are commissioned to work hand-in-hand with NMTP students in the creation, development and presentation of original new work. From inception-to-performance, course work is designed not only to support the skills necessary for a specific piece, but also to build the discipline and flexibility necessary for long-term success in this exciting, demanding and ever-expanding field. Forging collaborative relationships with their professional peers, NMTP students effectively bridge the gap from student to professional experience.

So, if I recall, this MT practicum is fully immersive for an entire semester and is an option within PH studio.

Further, some of the students studying directing, put on musicals. My D was not in Playwrights, but one year, she was in Little Shop of Horrors at Playwrights, which was a directing project of one of the PH students.

Further…I am aware that my D’s very good friend who she went to Tisch with in CAP21 studio, who is now a professional director and choreographer (in fact, both are involved in an event together tonight in NYC as I am typing this!), teaches dance as part of the second AND third year performance curriculum in Playwrights Horizon studio! So, there’s that too!

I’m not trying to convince you to attend Tisch/PH…but do talk to current students and alum and make sure you are aware of everything this studio offers, and on top of that, after two years, you can switch to another studio if you wish.
