About the Program

New this season, the Triple Threat Enrichment Program offers an immersive, advanced musical theatre experience for young performers ready to deepen their craft.

The Enrichment Program is open to both production and non-production students. Whether your student is preparing for our Fall or Spring Musical, working toward college auditions, or simply hungry to grow, this is the place to take their training further.
