In Centenary University’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Theatre Arts, Musical Theatre concentration, you will explore both the performance and production sides of working on a musical. You will receive pre-professional training in voice, dance and acting, while becoming skilled at the technical aspects of theatre — from set design and lighting to stage management.

As with all of Centenary’s Theatre Arts programs, Musical Theatre combines conservatory quality training with the University’s broad-based liberal arts curriculum. Our Musical Theatre students graduate with a well-round education — able to take on whatever roles are ahead.

Students also have the exceptional opportunity to work alongside guest professional artists from theatre and dance through the Centenary Stage Company, a not-for-profit professional equity theatre company based on campus.

With attendance at Broadway musicals at all-time highs, it’s an exciting time to pursue a career in the theatre.
