Hi, I was accepted and plan to attend LIU Brooklyn for healthcare this july. Do you have any advice/recommendations/ info about what I should expect? btw, im doing the healthcare program.
Thanks! ![]()
@fadeaway24 This is the Musical Theatre Board, guessing most people won’t have info on healthcare program. Sorry!
Hey @fadeaway24SC This is the musical theatre forum, and while it is an amazingly knowledgeable group of people you might not find much information here. Is there a healthcare forum? Good luck at LIU this summer.
@theaterwork im doing the LIU summer program in brooklyn! have you heard anything recently from the program?
So here is our run-down of the LIU Post summer program for MT-
If you are looking for a fully-scholarshipped program geared only to rising seniors that focuses on performance, this might be a great fit for you! The program offers an opportunity to live as a college student, on a lovely campus in close proximity to NYC. The students spend 1 day in the city, enjoying the sights around Times Square and a Broadway matinee.It allows the kids (all 16 and 17) to meet other like-minded students from around the country, and see a variety of talent. A hint - if your student attends, have them prepare very well for the audition! It takes place within an hour of arriving on campus and dictates casting for the cabaret that they rehearse all week.
If your student is hoping for masterclasses, audition prep, or a taste of what LIU offers in the way of curriculum, this is not the summer program for them. I hope this helps!! ![]()
Paper Mill Summer Conservatory? I’m new to this board so sorry if this is a repeat but why is it not listed on this list
I highly recommend the Muny/Webster Intensive for Emerging Young Artists! Their applications come out on 11/5 when they will announce which summer show the EYAs will be a part of for the Muny’s 100th season. It appears there is a very short turnaround to submit the applications which are due 11/30. In my son’s year, which was the inaugural 2015 year, out of the 6 boys, 3 boys are at Elon, 1 at Balwin Wallace, 1 at Syracuse, 1 at Tulane. The girls are at BOCO, Texas State, NYU, UNCSA, Lindenwood and Manhattan School of Music. It is an experience like no other working alongside Broadway and Equity artists and performing to nightly crowds of over 10,000 patrons!

Texas State’s Summer Musical Theatre intensive is now accepting applications and has put out an informational video. Here is the link:
The first thing I ever posted was about my daughter’s experience at the Musical Theater Lab/ Vineyard Arts project and I think I posted it in the wrong forum because I was new to CC. It is an amazing summer program run by Scott Wise and Elizabeth Parkinson and I can’t speak highly enough about it. If anyone needs information on it you can look up my earlier post or PM me. It is small program which gives your child lots of attention and love. My MT daughter credits this experience will helping her find her path and developing her skills - it was the best training we could have asked for.
Soo… what summer programs are your current juniors applying to? Mine did French Woods for a few years but since next year is college audition time we are going to forgo camp and just focus on college prep this summer. She did the Pace Summer Scholars for MT last year (where she fell in love with Pace) and has also done BAA for many years. (Did the college prep 1-wk. workshop at the end of the summer last year and enjoyed that too.) We are on the East Coast so would prefer something “drivable” although she does intend to apply to Penn State and MUNY/Webster thing, both of which will be a hike for a short program. Other programs we are planning to apply to are MPulse, BOCO, Artsbridge and the one at CCM. Overtures looks good but she feels that 1 week is too short and it’s quite far. Am I overlooking anything amazing?
The Performing Arts Project. Can’t say enough good things… ![]()
Thanks MTmom… can you elaborate? I looked it up and it seems like an interesting option, would love some more details, like when your child attended, the age range they feel the kids were (I noticed they have a 2-wk program for 14-18 and a 3-wk for 16+.) Curios if rising seniors are more apt to do the shorter or longer program.
After doing a lot of research and having multiple discussions, I think we are leaning towards RADA in London. My D attends a residential performing arts high school that offers significant assistance with college applications and auditions, so we (or she, rather) determined she wanted a working summer intensive versus college app prep. Her weakness is Shakespeare. When we played with the numbers, it is the same price to send her to London for two weeks as it is to enroll her in some of the prestigious summer intensives stateside. If anyone has experience with RADA’s program, I’d love some feedback!
No experience with RADA, but my daughter attended the Shakespeare School at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario last summer… excellent, excellent, excellent. 2& 3 week programs which also include tickets to Stratford’s incredible shows. Worth a look.
@carriemc95 - my D did a semester studying Shakespeare at RADA through NYU, it was her favorite thing EVER.
Applications for Florida State University’s MTI (Music Theatre Intensive) for rising HS juniors and seniors (or gap year) are open on GetAcceptd. We will be accepting applications until March 1, 2018 and viewing them on a rolling basis. We will accept 30 students and the dates of the program are July 8-28, 2018.
I’m happy to answer any questions!

Quick question about Tisch Summer High School. There is no audition component…is it still super competitive, and is admission more based on academics and recommendations?
@carriemc95 my daughter attended the Theatre Performance intensive at the Stratford festival Shakespeare school as well. Her program required an audition but was very affordable. 3 weeks of top notch classical training and saw 10-12 shows in the process. I would echo @MTmom2015 - it is definitely worth a look!
One to add for Illinois: Broadway Breakthrough.
“Seventy-five students will have the unprecedented opportunity to take classes, audition and receive audition feedback from university faculty members from American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), Ball State, The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, CAP 21, Carnegie Mellon, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Columbia College, DePaul University, Emerson College, Indiana University, The Juilliard School, Northwestern University, the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance, NYU, Pace University, Point Park University, Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts, Texas State, Yale School of Drama, in addition to Stewart Talent agency, Second City Chicago and Broadway’s Hamilton cast members.”
Not sure if this one was mentioned but my daughter has done the Young Artists of America Summer Performing Arts Intensive and it is phenomenal! It’s a rigorous two week program in Maryland. They bring in teachers from all over to work with the kids and it culminates in a final production. I highly recommend it.
