Texas Musical Theatre Workshop combines a core set of studio classes taught by university faculty and industry professionals with master classes led by Broadway professionals. All classes divide our student artists into smaller groups and focus on acting, singing, dancing and auditioning skills, culminating in a final performance (the “Portfolio”) for family and friends.
Classes meet from 9:15 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout each week, with rehearsals, opportunities for one-on-one voice and audition rep coaching, and other fun activities scheduled most evenings between 7 and 9 p.m.

Activity Descriptions
Voice & Musicianship Studio
Study the mechanics of healthy vocal production and master the many stylistic characteristics found in musical theatre repertoire.
Auditioning Skills and Rep Book Coaching
Gain practical knowledge and techniques to make the auditioning experience a positive one, including selecting and cutting music, working with an accompanist, formatting headshots and resumes, and how to give an audition that lights up the room!
Acting & Pre-Screen Video Studio
Become a great storyteller through your audition material whether it’s spoken or sung, and learn how to create a compelling pre-screen video.
Performance Workshop Rehearsal
This takes students from the studio to the rehearsal hall, synthesizing all the elements of performance and building them into a production number from a Broadway musical to be performed for family and friends in TXMTW’s “Portfolio” (final day of the intensive).
Master Class
Our master classes cover a range of topics as diverse as our stellar line-up of teaching artists and are always designed to provide a bridge for our student artists to the professional world of musical theatre. Students will receive a wealth of information, advice, and hands-on training directly from Broadway composers, directors and performers as well as teaching artists from across the country.
