WE ARE OFTEN ASKED what our Musical Theatre majors do after graduation. Many of our alumni are appearing in Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, in national touring productions, at regional theatres, in stock, on television and in almost every entertainment-related field. They also forge careers as writers, directors, musical directors, choreographers, agents and managers, producers, conductors and teachers of the craft. Pictured below is a selection of our students who are represent us in the profession, both currently and recently. Featured students change periodically.
