In addition to these showcase performances, held July 24 – 31 at the Kirk Theatre, the intensive will offer a variety of workshops and coaching sessions, as well as master classes with Broadway performers, to deepen general knowledge of theatre practice, strengthen vocal and acting technique, and enhance overall confidence.

Rolling admission is by audition.  Tuition is $750 per student for the three week program.  To schedule an audition appointment, or for more information, please email Summer@ProspectTheater.org or call 212-594-4476.
