Training
•Drake’s Musical Theatre concentration is designed for students majoring in Vocal Performance who want to broaden their work as singing actors. The published curriculum adds acting, movement, musical theatre history, and dance to the student’s music study.
Performance & Productions
•Students apply vocal training in musical-theatre contexts while building the movement and acting skills needed for staged performance. The concentration sits at the intersection of Drake’s Music and Theatre departments and complements the production opportunities available through both areas.
Professional Development
•The combined preparation supports further work in musical theatre, voice, teaching, ensemble performance, and graduate study. Students can use Drake’s classroom, Main Stage, experimental, and community production settings to connect technique with practical performance experience.
Degree Flexibility
•This concentration gives a BM Applied Music voice student a defined way to add musical-theatre versatility without replacing the underlying music degree. It is a focused option for singers who want broader performance preparation alongside their applied voice, theory, piano, and literature work.
